ISP Update: Seymour District
The sun is out and the snow has subsided. There continue to be situations with respect to current weather and road conditions. Within the Seymour District of the Indiana State Police the road conditions are as follows:
- I-65 from the 36 to the 58 mile marker, both lanes are snow/slush covered and slick. We continue to respond to vehicles sliding off, due to unsafe speeds.
- I-65 from the 58 to the 80 mile marker, the right lane is wet, the left lane is snow/slush covered.
- State and U.S. highways are still snow/slush covered and slick.
- Secondary roads (county roads) are snow covered and slick, with deep snow in places.
Troopers most recently assisted with semis stuck in the median at the 36, 41 and 52 mile marker. Both lanes were recently re-opened at the 58 mile marker southbound, following the clearing of a jack-knifed semi. The interstate was also recently re-opened southbound at the 38 mile marker, after the removal of a semi. Motorists should be prepared for sudden speed reductions or stops.
Even though the snow has quit falling, people are encouraged to stay off the roadways unless it is an emergency. City, state and county highway crews will need time to get the roadways clear. The fewer vehicles that are on the roadways, the quicker they can get that accomplished.
