Nashville, TN – Drivers across Nashville are being urged to stay off the roads this morning as continuing snowfall has made travel conditions increasingly dangerous, leading to dozens of crashes citywide.
According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, slick and icy roads have contributed to 39 reported crashes between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. today, as snow continues to accumulate on city streets, highways, and neighborhood roads.
Police said conditions are hazardous across Davidson County, including major corridors near downtown Nashville and surrounding residential areas. Images released by authorities show snow-covered streets, reduced visibility, and vehicles struggling to navigate untreated roadways.
Officials are asking residents to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary, stressing that even short trips can become dangerous due to icy surfaces and limited traction. Emergency responders are continuing to handle crash calls while monitoring road conditions throughout the city.
Snowfall has impacted traffic near key Nashville routes and intersections, with some delays reported near downtown and along major commuter roads. Motorists who must travel are advised to slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, and watch for emergency crews working crash scenes.
Police also reminded residents to check local weather updates and road condition alerts before heading out, as conditions may change quickly with continued snowfall and freezing temperatures.
No serious injuries have been announced as of late morning, though officials emphasized that conditions remain unstable and additional crashes are possible if travel continues during the storm.
Residents are encouraged to stay warm, limit unnecessary trips, and allow road crews time to treat affected areas.
