Slippery Roads Cause All Kinds of Accidents Friday Night
Tri-Com scanner reports are piling up as fast as the actual accidents on the roads made slick by rain and ice.
Numerous Tri-Com scanner reports came in Friday pointing out accidents and cars in the ditch on Randall Road, Kirk Road and other major thoroughfares, as drivers made their way home from work during the Friday afternoon rush.
Reports included accidents and vehicles in ditches at Kirk and Fargo, Fargo and Country Squire, Kirk and DuKane, Lorraine and Fago, Fabyan and Western Avenue and at various intersections on State Street.
Many of the accidents included "unknown injuries."
Be careful of the hill on East State Street in Geneva.
"People coming down on the hill are spinning out on the ice," one dispatcher said at about 5:15 p.m. Friday.
