ST. GEORGE — While some desert dwellers are ready for cooler temps, Sunday was an icy reminder of how winter storms can instantly create hazardous conditions for drivers.
Trooper Quincy Breuer with the Utah Highway Patrol said multiple crashes were seen along I-15 near Beaver Sunday morning, putting traffic on the snowy roads to a dead stop for about an hour.
"All crashes were minor injuries, nothing major, but all have been cleared and traffic is moving again," Breuer said.
While Breuer didn't have specifics on the individual crashes, he said there were roughly five crashes that included semitrucks, trucks pulling trailers and passenger vehicles.
