Nevada County, AR – Arkansas State Police are warning drivers to avoid Interstate 30 after a series of icy-weather crashes involving multiple 18-wheelers blocked westbound lanes Friday morning.
According to the Arkansas State Police, one crash at the 44-mile marker near Prescott involves an 18-wheeler blocking traffic. A second wreck at the 83-mile marker has all lanes shut down after three tractor-trailers collided.
Troopers also report that the off-ramp at the 93-mile marker remains closed. Due to the slick surface, recovery operations are difficult and the closure may last for several hours, police said.
Drivers are urged to check the Arkansas Department of Transportation’s Winter Weather Road Conditions Map for the latest updates. Authorities continue to advise motorists to stay off the roads if possible until conditions improve.
With more wintry weather expected, residents are encouraged to plan alternate routes and allow extra time for travel through the weekend.
