Freezing Rain, Icy Roads Plague West Virgina Motorists

Two Charleston firefighters were injured Friday after a fire engine crashed while responding to a call about a car that slid into a creek off icy Sugar Creek Drive. Both firefighters from Engine No. 458 were transported to the hospital. The woman who crashed her vehicle into the creek, identified as Pam Burdette, also was taken to the hospital, firefighters said.
Firefighters said Sugar Creek Drive is a solid sheet of ice. Icy conditions throughout Kanawha County are posing problems for motorists as Metro 911 dispatchers reported about a dozen accidents by Friday morning.
