Metro 911 has compiled totals for crashes reported on February 13, 2014 in Kanawha County. The total number of crashes reported is 92, 16 of which involved injuries to occupants.
The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office responded to 32 of those crashes, a little more than 1/3 the total for the whole county.
The temperature changes and predicted additional snow is sure to cause more hazards for motorists today and tonight. Although many of the crashes yesterday and today are weather related, it is important to remember most are also driver-caused and can be avoided with extra caution and awareness.
Please allow extra travel time in your schedule, clear your windows of ice and your car tops of snow, and watch out for others on the roadways so everyone can have a safe and accident-free weekend.
