Indiana State Troopers from the Indianapolis State Police Post were kept busy for the last twenty-four hours responding to numerous crashes and calls for service in the district. The majority of the crashes were property damage crashes. An accumulation of snow caused roadways, bridges, under passes, exit and entrance ramps to freeze; creating slick road conditions for motorists. Many secondary roads were nearly impassable.
The Indianapolis District worked a total of 103 property damage crashes, 9 personal injury crashes, 116 slide offs and responded to 47 motorists assists since yesterday at 1 p.m. Primary roadways in the district remain mostly snow covered with slush and slick spots. Currently all roads are open and drivers are reminded to drive with caution. The Indianapolis State Police District includes Marion, Johnson, Shelby and Boone counties.
