Description ICE IS STILL CREATING PROBLEMS FOR DRIVERS AND POLICE IN THE DALLAS AREA.
Script COLD WEATHER IS STILL CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR DRIVERS IN SOME AREAS OF NORTH TEXAS. DALLAS POLICE SAY ICE WAS A FACTOR IN THIS ACCIDENT AT MARSALIS AND CLARENDON. AT LEAST THREE CARS WERE HEADED NORTH ON THE BRIDGE WHEN THEY HIT ICE, SLID ACROSS THE MEDIAN AND INTO THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING CAR. TWO PEOPLE WERE TAKEN TO HOSPITALS, BUT THEY HAD ONLY MINOR INJURIES. THE CITY DISPATCHED CREWS TO SAND THE BRIDGE AND IT WAS EVENTUALLY OPENED AGAIN TO TRAFFIC. IT'S A REMINDER THAT AS SLEET AND ICE FROM LAST WEEK'S STORM MELTS-- THEN RE-FREEZES-- IT CAN STILL CAUSE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. WESTERN FEED-DATE: 00JAN31 WESTERN
