CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — The forecasted flash freeze has left roads in north central West Virginia slick and dangerous.
Marion County Homeland Security and Emergency Management reported on its Facebook page that Interstate 79 northbound near the Kingmont Exit is temporarily closed Friday morning due to disabled tractor-trailers.
The Monongalia County Emergency Management Agency reported that several trees are down in addition to icy and snowy road conditions, and urged those who must travel to use caution. It said the Division of Highways is aware of road conditions and has crews working to treat the roads.
In Clarksburg, crews are out as well. StormTracker 12 Meteorologist Josh Redwine took a look at road conditions right outside 12 News on W Pike Street.
