Weather causes string of wrecks

Ice, snow and cat food snarled traffic on Greater Cincinnati's interstates
Thursday afternoon, and at least one person - possibly two - were seriously
hurt.
"We had a string of accidents," said Tim Schoch, deputy program manager for
ARTIMIS, the region's traffic-management agency. "The wrecks were scattered
throughout the region. Most were weather-related, either patches of ice or
snow-covered roads. Others appeared to have nothing to do with weather."
One of the more serious weather-related crashes happened around 2:30 p.m.,
as snow was falling.
Following a crash just east of Amelia, a medical helicopter flew Debra J.
Black, 42, of Amelia, to University Hospital, where she was listed in
critical condition.
Black's 1993 Mercury Topaz was eastbound on Ohio 125 when a westbound
snowplow truck struck a reflector in the pavement. The 41/2-pound reflector
flew through Black's windshield and struck her. Her vehicle then went off
the road and struck a tree.

Several years ago, I lived in Cincinnati's Clifton area, close to Ravine
Street. It's probably one of the steepest streets in the city. Definitely a
street to avoid in bad weather.
