Icy Roads Lead to Fatalities In Southwest Ohio

Ice-covered roadways and blowing snow have led to numerous accidents with some fatalities on interstates in southwest Ohio. The state Highway Patrol says two people were killed in a chain reaction crash Thursday morning that shut down northbound Interstate 75 in Butler County’s West Chester Township, about 23 miles (37 kilometers) north of Cincinnati.
Accidents caused lane closures in the southbound lanes of the interstate as well. Roads are being described Thursday morning as sheets of ice.
