MORGAN COUNTY, Utah, Nov. 28, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — Mountain Green Fire crews are warning drivers of black ice, which played a part in two wrecks on Thursday.

“Please slow down and watch out for BLACK ICE,” a news release from the agency says.

“Our Thanksgiving crew ran two wrecks in the canyon caused by black ice. This vehicle lost control and rolled at the ‘usual’ spot, westbound just prior to the Power Plant at mile marker 89.5 at around 4 pm.

“Earlier, around noon, on the bridge westbound over the river and Union Pacific railroad at mile marker 91, ice caused a car to lose control and hit the barrier.

“Fortunately no injuries in either incident, just wrecked cars.

“Everyone isn’t quite used to the change in weather yet. Please speak with your less-experienced drivers and tell them to slow down in the canyon and be on guard.”
