Travel Not Recommended

December 20, 2012

Marshall County - Marshall County Sheriff, Ted G. Kamatchus is highly recommending NO Travel in the county until the wind dissipates.

The Marshall Co Sheriff's Office has been on nonstop calls with dozen of vehicles in the ditch across Marshall county. Many of these involving semi-tractor trailer rigs with light or no loads. The Sheriff urges drivers to use common sense at a time like this, and simply requests you do not drive unless in an emergency situation or mandated. The East-West roads seem to be more at risk. The county and DOT crews are unable to keep up with the high wind areas that are producing large white outs. Once the wind dies down, it should be safe to travel using normal winter driving precautions. Listen to local radio and news for latest updates on travel recommendations.

Stay safe.
