MINOT — Motorists throughout western North Dakota are dealing with icy roads.
The state Department of Transportation says blowing snow is sticking to roadways and causing slick conditions. The agency has issued a travel alert for the Williston, Minot, Dickinson and Bismarck regions. That means motorists can still travel but should use caution.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a northwest wind blowing snow off Hobart Lake about 9:40 a.m. led a car traveling too fast for conditions to roll in the median about 20 miles east of Jamestown. The crash injured the driver and a passenger.
Temperatures in many parts of the state hit 30 degrees early Wednesday, and the National Weather Service says daytime highs through the weekend should be about as balmy.
