Fishers, IN – Drivers across Fishers are being urged to slow down and use extreme caution today as steady snowfall creates hazardous road conditions and leads to multiple crashes throughout the city.
According to the Fishers Police Department, officers are currently responding to several crashes across Fishers as snow continues to fall and road conditions deteriorate. Police say drivers should expect slick streets, reduced visibility, and longer stopping distances, especially during peak travel times.
Authorities are asking motorists to give first responders extra space while they work crash scenes and assist stranded drivers. Police emphasized the importance of slowing down, leaving additional following distance, and avoiding unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
The department said worsening road conditions are being reported across residential streets and main roadways alike, increasing the risk of spin-outs and rear-end collisions. While no serious injuries have been announced as of this report, officers warned that conditions could continue to deteriorate if snowfall persists.
Fishers is located in Hamilton County, just northeast of Indianapolis, an area that has seen increasing winter weather impacts today. Drivers commuting toward the Indianapolis metro area are also being advised to plan for delays and allow extra travel time.
Police remind residents that even experienced winter drivers can lose control on snow-covered roads. Motorists are encouraged to keep headlights on, avoid sudden braking, and stay alert for emergency vehicles.
Residents who must travel are urged to check local traffic conditions before leaving and to consider delaying trips when possible. Anyone involved in a crash is asked to move vehicles out of traffic if it is safe to do so and to call police for assistance.
