INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The Department of Public Works had crews out overnight preparing
for the snow. Thirty-six salt truck drivers hit Indianapolis
streets around 3 a.m. Sunday morning. They targeted bridges and
intersections for morning traffic.
Just north of the metro area, slick roads contributed to several
crashes in surrounding counties. In Madison County, officers say
they worked a fatality crash in Anderson when a car left an
icy roadway, and collided with a tree. State Troopers reported
several slide-offs and accidents along I-69 in Delaware and Grant
Counties Sunday morning.
A full shift of salt truck drivers will be back on Indianapolis
roadways at 11 p.m. Sunday night, with plenty of time to get salt
down before Monday's rush hour.
