 Well, more than 30 vehicles went in the ditch in the Bemidji area yesterday, including several that rolled over. Won't be the last time this winter that roads will be slippery. And MnDOT is offering some tips to help keep everyone safe. First, road salt may not always work in extremely cold temperatures. This means motorists should drive slowly, give themselves plenty of time to get to their destination. If you go off the road and get stuck, MnDOT says it's best to call it a tow company instead of law enforcement unless there are injuries. When we have a large snowstorm that comes in, like we had last week where there's a bunch of snow and then where winds follow that as well, it can be dangerous to drive. There's some tools available for motorists to help make good decisions with that. They can go on our website, 501mn.org. And for that, they can get up-to-date road conditions that go all across the state. So if you're heading down to the Twin Cities, it'll let you know if there's any roads closed. MnDOT officials also say you should state at least 10 car lengths behind any road plows.
