Slick roadways caused problems

Also this morning, emergency crews responded shortly after 8 a.m. to a pair of crashes on U.S. 50 between Murphy's Ford Road and Route U, just east of Centertown. Initial reports were that neither of those wrecks involved injuries.

In a later incident, an officer at the scene witnessed a rollover accident around 8:35 a.m. blocking U.S. 50 in the vicinity of the earlier crashes near Centertown. Additional emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene.

Officers advised that roadways in the area at the time had become extremely slick. The Missouri Department of Transportation was notified to treat the conditions.
