South Bend, IN – Police have issued a traffic alert Monday night after responding to 37 crashes since noon as heavy snow and low visibility grip South Bend and surrounding St. Joseph County.
According to the South Bend Police Department, conditions have worsened through the evening, with roads described as slick and visibility “extremely low in some spots.”
Officers also responded to a train-versus-vehicle collision at the Grandview Avenue railroad crossing. Police confirmed that no one was inside the vehicle at the time of impact and no injuries were reported, but the scene will take time to clear due to the weather.
Drivers are urged to avoid unnecessary travel, reduce speeds, and allow extra time if commuting. Police said they will provide another update later tonight as snow continues to fall across northern Indiana.
“We’ll check in again soon with another update. Be safe,” officials said.
