| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A light snowfall, the first of the season in some areas, provided a one-inch coating. Road surfaces became extremely slippery, and numerous accidents were reported. Two of the accidents left drivers with major injuries and traffic backups stretching several miles. A tractor-trailer rig northbound on Interstate 57 near Marion jackknifed and crossed the median into the southbound lanes. The driver of a car that was struck by the truck was seriously injured. Traffic on Interstate 57 was detoured onto side roads until the accident could be cleared. Another accident on U.S. 51 about 8 miles south of Carbondale closed that road for a while. Three vehicles were involved in that wreck, and one person was seriously injured. Numerous other accidents were reported across the region, mostly minor. |
