According to WSP Trooper Chris Thorson, approximately 60 vehicle collisions were the result of Wednesday’s snow event. Most of the crashes were due to motorists traveling too fast for the conditions.
Please DO NOT DRIVE AROUND ROAD CLOSED SIGNS. It is a crime and also puts you and the passengers in the vehicle at risk.

When I woke up, I was surprised to see a blanket of snow on the lawn. I was also shocked to encounter slick roads on my early drive to work. At times on SR 240, I couldn’t tell which lane I was in. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office issued a warning regarding road closures.
WSP Trooper Thorson tweeted about the dangerous conditions early Wednesday.
Blowing and drifting snow was problematic. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office reminds you to abide by road signs.
