The Nebraska Department of Roads is currently pulling its plows from all highways in District Three at this time due to extremely low visibility.
Blowing and drifting snow is making the roads impassable. This is a life threatening storm. Travel is not advised.
The Nebraska State Patrol is advising all troopers to shelter in place where they can due to the extreme road conditions.
We are currently working a single vehicle fatality accident just south of Macy on highway #75 and an injury accident in Columbus. Travel is not recommended and extremely dangerous at this time.
