It was reported that seven vehicles were involved, including two semi-trucks. Very little damage was obvious to the involved vehicles.
Most of the vehicles were immoveable due to snow and slick ice. Several first responder vehicles also required assistance to get out of the area.

We just don’t listen! Driving in the weather conditions yesterday and until the roads are safe, is not worth loosing your life over. It was said NOT to drive if it wasn’t necessary, but we are just to entitled do the right thing. Most everything is closed anyways, so stay off the roads. DON’T jeopardize your life or anyone’s else’s life stay home.
I just narrowly missed this. I was coming through around that time yesterday. I saw a few vehicles spin out and get stuck in front of me. When stopped on ice, you have to have good traction to get around it. Luckily, I made the decision to replace all my tires with new a couple months ago.
I really and truly hate Hwy 97 people just dont do the speed right and think they gotta pass others its just bad
