Numerous Weather-Related Accidents
Area roads are still treacherous, and accidents have been reported throughout the Twins Tiers all day.
At various times throughout the day tractor-trailers were stuck on West Eldred Road, Route 6 in Keating Township, Route 219 and Minard Run Road to name just a few places.
Cars are in ditches just about everywhere in the Bradford area and in Cattaraugus County.
Motorists are urged to use caution if they have to be on the roads.
One of the tractor-trailers was being driven by 53-year-old David Jeffries of DuBois on Route 219 in Lafayette Township, just north of Westline Road.
Police say Jeffries lost control of the rig at just before 10 a.m., causing it to jackknife. The truck was pulled out of a ditch by Boylan’s Trucking, then driven from the scene.
Jeffries wasn’t hurt, but was cited for driving at an unsafe speed.
