Austin-Travis County EMS reported a significant amount of crashes just within a 12-hour period. In fact, the numbers were unusually high.
"As we see ice forming on our bridges. That's to be expected, those elevated structures cool down a lot faster than the roads that are at ground level," said Diann Hodges, a TxDOT spokesperson. "Even though it may not appear that there is ice on the road, you might hit a patch that you can't see, especially on elevated structures," said Hodges. EMS reported a significant amount of crashes just within a 12-hour period. In fact, the numbers were unusually high.
Crashes were reported all over town. FOX 7 captured video at I-35 and Grand Avenue, Parmer and Mopac, Duval and Mopac. Also, the toll 45 northbound ramp where a huge pileup occurred last winter. Another wreck Thursday was less than a mile from that site.
