Icy roads make for tricky driving, accidents


Even though the temperature rose overnight, freezing rain made driving treacherous. In Youngstown, police responded to 10 accidents between midnight and 9 a.m. today. The crashes occurred “all over the city,” police said. Travelers on Oak Hill Avenue and Interstate 680, especially, faced challenging driving conditions. No serious injuries were reported.

A crash on Market Street in Beaver Township late Tuesday night involved several vehicles. Icy roads were believed to be the cause of the collision, which trapped the occupants of at least one vehicle and blocked the street near Phantom Fireworks.
