Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeFreezing rain coated many roads with ice during the early morning hours. The icing was confined to counties along the Tennessee border, primarily from Hopkinsville to Murray and Mayfield. The freezing rain was caused by an upper level storm system that passed over west Tennessee. Numerous accidents occurred, and the Purchase Parkway was closed near mile marker 9. Two men were treated for minor injuries after their tractor-trailer truck ran through a guard rail and down a short embankment off the Purchase Parkway. A tractor-trailer rig wreck blocked a section of Kentucky 94 in Fulton County for several hours. Even though the truck overturned, the driver was not injured. Icy roads produced another wreck 20 miles south of Mayfield on Kentucky 129. In this wreck, the pickup truck flipped onto the driver's side, causing minor injuries to the driver. Schools opened late in most districts in the affected counties.
