Cars could be seen dangerously sliding along residential roadways in Dallas Wednesday after winter weather brought icy conditions to a wide portion of the U.S., leaving more than 250,000 customers without power in Texas.
In Texas, a sheriff's deputy who stopped to help the driver of an 18-wheeler that went off an icy highway on Tuesday was hit by a second truck that pinned him beneath one of its tires, according to the Travis County Sheriff's Office. About 45 minutes after the crash on State Highway 130, the deputy was freed from the wreckage and taken to a hospital, where he was in surgery Tuesday afternoon, officials said. The deputy is expected to survive, officials said.
One of the main thoroughfares through Arkansas — Interstate 40 — was ice-coated and"extremely hazardous" in the Forrest City area on Tuesday, according to the city's fire department. Pictures posted on social media showed the crumpled cab of a semi-trailer. By late Tuesday morning, I-40 was cleared and traffic had resumed, the Arkansas Department of Transportation announced. The interstate connects Little Rock, Arkansas, to Memphis, Tennessee.
"Generally light to moderate freezing rain resulting in some pretty significant ice amounts," Chenard said.
