Roads remain slick and reports of crashes and spin outs continue to roll in. The latest is a crash in which a pickup truck driver lost it on eastbound 494 near Hardman Avenue. The front end hit the concrete median. The median won.

In Maple Grove, a driver hit a guard rail on the ramp from Hemlock Lane to westbound 94. Ramps are especially treacherous this morning.

Other incidents include a crash on southbound 35W at University Avenue. Northbound Cedar is still trying to recover from an earlier wreck at Hwy. 13. There is a new crash near 127th Street, so expect delays coming out of Apple Valley.
