Emergency responders have busy Monday morning due to road conditions
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - Shortly after noon on Monday, the Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) reported that their crews had already responded to more than 30 traffic accidents due to weather and road conditions.
The department said at least one of their engines was involved in an accident while on scene of a different accident.
The City of Colorado Springs and the City of Fountain were both on Accident Alert Status Monday. Meanwhile, Mountain Metro buses canceled services for the afternoon.
Elsewhere, many drivers including a KRDO13 crew were stuck behind a delivery truck, unable to make it up a hill in the Ivywild neighborhood.
The area has a hill, which poses issues for drivers. Residents of a nearby assisted living home even jumped into action, directing traffic away from the hill.
Dangerous slick spots are expected into early Tuesday morning. Drivers are asked to avoid the roads if possible, or take it slow.
