Indiana (IN) Chain Reaction Accidents: Truck Driver Killed; Students Injured | Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp

What Happened:

Winter is upon us and the first large snow storm has hit the Midwest hard; bringing havoc to many states with nearly a foot and a half of snow in some states. In Indiana (IN) a driver of a semitrailer truck was killed after losing control while crossing a snow covered bridge.

Not all the accidents are strictly due to the conditions of the roads, but from drivers not taking the appropriate precautions while driving in bad weather. Just recently a school bus in Michigan (MI) carrying six students crashed into a tree that had fallen across the road.
