Icy conditions cause multiple accidents Tuesday morning on I-70
CLOVERDALE-- Firefighters from the Cloverdale Township Volunteer Fire Department (CTVFD) responded to several motor vehicle accidents due to icy conditions on Tuesday.
The first incident occurred at 5:50 a.m. as a semi going eastbound on Interstate 70 jackknifed, overturned and began leaking fuel.
The incident blocked both directions of traffic near 34-mile marker in the still-dark morning.
No injuries were reported.
CTVFD later responded to a four-vehicle accident that resulted in diesel fuel and gasoline leaking from two of the vehicles.
No injuries were reported but again, icy conditions were to blame for the incident.
CTVFD also checked several other accidents throughout the morning, all due to cars sliding off the roadway in icy conditions.
