At 8:00 AM our department assisted the Wisconsin State Patrol by blocking traffic in the 12200 block of I-94 northbound for 2 semi-tractors that jackknifed.  The Interstate was shut down and traffic was diverted for over an hour.  For information regarding this crash contact the Wisconsin State Patrol.

At this time there are no road closures in Kenosha County due to the storm.  The roadways remain hazardous and slippery, and we urge the community to exercise extreme caution when traveling.
