Winter weather has wreaked havoc on many of Texoma’s roadways this Tuesday as temperatures remain below freezing into the afternoon.

After many Texas and Oklahoma schools made the decision to not hold classes Tuesday, many drivers quickly learned that the roads were indeed slippery.

Three people were injured in a wreck in Denison on U.S. Highway 75 just before Spur 503 caused by slick conditions. We’re told traffic on U.S. 75 in Van Alstyne and Howe was at a standstill for much of the day due to ice patches on the highway. U.S. Highway 82 also remains slick in places Tuesday.

Across the Red River, travel conditions are just as treacherous in Oklahoma. Interstate 35 throughout Texoma has been a trouble spot all day long, with numerous wreck reported. We’ve also received reports of wrecks on Ardmore city streets. ODOT says travel on Interstate 35 on south from Oklahoma City is not advised.

Of course, watch First News at Five, Six, and Ten for COMPLETE coverage on this ongoing winter weather event.

If you need to find out specific travel information call the Texas Road Condition Hotline at (800) 452-9292 or the Oklahoma Road Condition Hotline at 1-888-425-2385 or click here for more local road conditions online.
