ISP travel warning

Indiana State Police Release:

The primary and secondary roads throughout our 11 county coverage area are snow-covered and slick. Although the snowfall has subsided significantly, the winds will continue to make the highway crews' jobs challenging as blowing and drifting snow persists. The ISP Fort Wayne post has not seen a significant number of crashes or slide offs and there are no major crashes or traffic tie ups to report at this time.

Motorists, as always are reminded that their driving behavior is the cause of vehicle crashes, not the weather. District Commander Lieutenant Tony Casto reminds motorists of the following:

* Clear all windows, head/tail lamps of snow and ice
* Turn headlights on, even in the daylight hours
* Reduce speed
* Be aware of sudden stops
* Keep distance between vehicles, don't tailgate
* Hang up cell phones, and drive with caution
* Buckle up
* MOVE OVER, SLOW DOWN when approaching emergency and highway service vehicles.
