OWENSBORO, Ky. (WFIE) - Crews have been treating the roads for days, but even that could not prevent slide offs and wrecks in our western Kentucky counties on Wednesday.
Officials at the Daviess County Garage say they started treating the roads with brine on Monday, followed by two consecutive days of salt.
“There are so many variables,” says Daviess County Engineer Mark Brasher. “Is it snow? Is it sleet? Is it ice? You treat them all a little bit different. What is the temperature of the road?”
