In the Fort Worth area, there were more than 140 reported motor vehicle collisions with reported injuries as of 5 a.m. Tuesday, including 16 were rollover crashes, according to Matt Zavadsky, a spokesman for MedStar.
There were also eight hypothermia-related calls, Zavadsky said. Seven people required hospitalization and five of those were in serious condition.
“Our biggest concern is power line safety, especially in areas that experience icing,” Lake wrote. “Ice can weigh down lines and topple tree limbs causing local power outages.”The forecast calls for more sleet and freezing rain Tuesday with temperatures hovering in the high 20s all day. Up to a half inch of ice could accumulate.
Travel has the potential to become “life-threatening,” according to the weather service. Road conditions could improve by the afternoon, but water on the roads could freeze once again overnight, worsening conditions for Wednesday morning. These conditions continue Wednesday before warming up to the 40s with rain on Thursday. The weekend should be sunny with temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
