The snowfall has begun to increase throughout the 10 county area served by the Indiana State Police Versailles Post. All roads continue to remain snow covered, slick, and hazardous. Troopers along with county and local law enforcement have responded to slide offs and minor crashes all morning. Travel conditions are expected to worsen as the snow continues to fall throughout the day and into the overnight with expected increase in wind speeds. Motorists are asked to limit travel to necessary or emergency travel only. If you must travel please follow the tips below:

• Do not call city, county or state police to check on road conditions – police agencies across the state want to keep phone lines open for emergency phone calls
• For up-to-date weather information the best source is your favorite TV or radio station or check the National Weather Service at http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ind/
• Visit www.TrafficWise.IN.gov or dial toll-free 1-800-261-ROAD (7623) for updated Indiana travel information, including road conditions, road closures, construction information, crashes and other traffic alerts
• If you must drive during any period of the storm a fully charged and functioning cell phone is your best friend
• If you are involved in a crash and no one is injured and the involved vehicles are still drivable, move to a safe area to exchange names, vehicle and license plate information, along with driver license number and insurance agent name and phone number with the other driver
• During severe weather conditions law enforcement will be busy responding to emergency calls and will not be able to take reports of crashes where there is only damage to property
• Vehicles left abandoned along interstate and state road right-of-ways are subject to immediate removal during inclement weather events.
