The right lane is blocked with an injury accident on westbound Hwy. 5 and Hwy. 55 near Fort Snelling.

A semitrailer truck slid off the ramp from northbound 494 to westbound 94 in Woodbury. Ramps and bridge decks are tricky this morning.

A tow truck is on the way to pull a motorist out of the ditch on eastbound 494 near Hwy. 100 in Bloomington.

There also is word of spin out on southbound 35W near University Avenue. The same thing is true on westbound Hwy. 36 at Lexington Avenue.

Lanes are snow covered and tough to determine exactly where they are, so use caution, drive slow and be ready for the unexpected.
