The strong polar vortex that swept across north Louisiana on Monday and Tuesday plunged temperatures into the teens and caused accumulations of ice and snow on area roads in Jackson Parish.

While thankfully, no serious injuries were sustained the slippery roads caused a multitude of wrecks over the parish, including the report of an overturned vehicle on Hwy 4 East. Several bridges and overpasses were also closed for a period of time. 

Motorists are still urged to use caution as even though many roads thawed on Tuesday afternoon, driving conditions could still be hazardous, especially Wednesday morning, due to roadways refreezing as result of temperatures dipping into the teens again Tuesday night.
