Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn unseasonably cold upper level low pressure system developed across the western United States starting on Friday, January 11, and it persisted through Tuesday, January 15. The cold system led to widespread freezing and sub-freezing temperatures across the central deserts, including the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Due to the freezing temperatures, a freeze warning was issued starting Friday, running through 9 am Tuesday morning. The freezing temperatures led to isolated occurrences of dangerous black ice across the greater Phoenix area on Tuesday morning; the ice was responsible for a significant traffic accident in central Phoenix. The cause of the water on the road was unknown, however it was not due to precipitation. Freezing temperatures caused the ice to freeze and to form the dangerous black ice.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA very cold weather pattern over the western United States led to widespread freezing temperatures over the greater Phoenix area on Tuesday, January 15. There was water on the roadway in central Phoenix, and the freezing temperatures caused dangerous black ice to form. At 8 am, an SUV hit a patch of black ice and skidded off the road and into a Courtesy Chevrolet dealership located at 12th Street and Camelback road. The SUV slammed into a brand new Corvette and a Camaro, causing significant damage to both. The SUV then slammed into the dealership's showroom, causing major damage as well as a injury to someone in the showroom. All told, the damage estimates came to approximately 150,000 dollars.
