Accidents abound on early morning mix

UPDATE
Four accidents have kept Crittenden County authorities busy this morning. Two wrecks occurred on U.S. 60 East – one near Rosebud curve and another near the rock quarry. A third accident happened on Ky. 120 east of Marion. 

Another woman crashed in Crayne and her van turned on its side (pictured). Heather Lowery, 35, of Princeton was driving the mini van, but was uninjured. She was heading toward Marion when she lost control of her vehicle on roads glazed with ice.

Motorists in the other accidents were not seriously injured either.

State highway officials and local law enforcement agencies are encouraging people to stay off roadways unless it is necessary to travel. Roads and highways are very slick, especially secondary highways and county roads.

The wintry mix is expected to continue falling through the morning.
