A light, freezing rain is causing very slippery road conditions throughout Rock County, according to the Rock County Sheriff’s Department.

“There are a lot of run offs and a few minor accidents,’’ said Sgt. Dale Beyer.

His advice for drivers: “Slow down.”

Just because this article was posted at 8:34 AM does not mean the info was received at that time. That quote could have come in at 3:00 AM for all we know.
.
The advice holds true no matter what time of day. Slow down.

I commute to Rockford every day and I saw a rollover accident on I-90 about 5:20 a.m. today, just south of Janesville near exit 177. The pickup truck involved obviously was totaled, had come to rest on its top and was completely smashed in. Are the police telling us this is a "minor accident?" Who are they trying to fool?

husbadofmath, how exactly are you going to own someones home and dock their pay if they hit you?
Trucks aren't the only ones out there driving too fast. I saw 2 cars in the ditch this morning, but no trucks.
