Icy Sliding - The wonderful, horrible works of frozen, icy roads :)

Icy Sliding : The wonderful, horrible works of frozen, icy roads :)

Icy road conditions in Spokane, Washington, cause several vehicles to lose control. KHQ reports.

SPOKANE, Wash. - It was quite the show on Spokane's South Hill on Saturday as vehicles slid all over the icy roadway crashing and smashing into each other. Our brave KHQ photographer Nick Beber captured Exclusive KHQ Video of the ice escapade! The pile-up happened at Thor and 13th and lasted between 10am and noon. Concerned citizens shutdown the streets as they awaited help from city street crews. There were no reports of any serious injuries, just some serious damage.

Authorities say nearly 200 Crashes Reported In The Spokane Area; Drivers Urged To Use Simple Driving Tactics

SPD NEWS RELEASE: On Saturday Spokane received a snowfall starting at approximately 10:00 am. From that time until 7:00 pm the Spokane Police Department received 85 calls of collisions. Many of these collisions involved multiple cars. Spokane roads are currently very slick. Citizens are cautioned to use extreme care while driving. Drivers need to allow extra distance for stops and even driving the speed limit is too fast for the current conditions. Spokane County authorities reported 78 accidents from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday.

The people that just kept their brakes locked up as they slid need to wake up. Take your foot off the brake and let the wheels spin and you may regain some steering!

@pharmdmsn or drive a manual and lower the gears to get some engine braking to slow the car down, but with the wheels still turning

[pharmdmsn]

@Zanarkke: manual cars are a thing of the ancient world in America. Nobody likes them here except for new immigrants arriving from Europe, Asia, latin America, Africa or other third world countries. You'll be hard pressed to find a significant number of American citizens who drive manual cars (or stick cars as they like to call them). So your advice doesn't work with Americans, unless you want them to give up their automatic cars which they will never do. Try another advice! Good luck! :)
