SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls police responded to 83 car crashes between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. yesterday.
Officer Sam Clemens says that’s four times the normal amount.
Clemens says there were 10 crashes during Tuesday morning's commute, a tick above normal.
He says the easiest way to avoid crashes is to slow down, drive the conditions. You can't stop as fast on wet, snow or ice covered roads. Advice that all too often falls on deaf ears.
The city is removing snow from downtown streets between 1 a.m and 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Cars won’t be ticketed but if cars are off the streets, more snow can be cleared.
