Tuesday Accidents Slow Traffic

It was an ugly day on local roads yesterday, with several accidents caused by the weather and other factors. One driver was killed on US 395 when she lost control of her car on the slushy roadway. Here's the story on that.

Another woman was injured when her car was pinned under a semi truck. Here's what happened.

Moral of the story? Take it easy out there folks. Even if the roads aren't bad, I've seen a lot of speeding, tailgating, getting cut off, etc. lately. Let's mind our manners.
