The National Weather Service said a Winter Weather Advisory is in place for most of Indiana until 1 a.m. Saturday.

Officials are urging drivers to slow down as the snow accumulates on roads. Since noon, Indiana State Police says troopers had responded to the following:

  • 68 crashes (with eight injuries)
  • 30 slide-offs
  • 24 disabled vehicle assists
  • 11 traffic hazards

ISP Sgt. John Perrine says as he was sitting behind a broken-down vehicle, the driver of another vehicle “spun out of control” and hit a concrete wall on I-465.

“Please, please, please slow down,” Perrine said.

IMPD says over 100 crashes have been reported to the department since 1 p.m. They are encouraging drivers to slow down and give extra space between you and the vehicle in front of you.
