The Greenville Police Department reported responding to 13 car accidents this week, two more than during the previous storm.
The SC Highway Patrol (SCHP) advises motorists to slow down, increase the distance between vehicles, and brake early and gently to avoid accidents on ice patches.
Avoid abrupt lane changes that could cause other motorists to veer onto ice patches in shady areas, on bridges, or on frozen overpasses.
Drive only as necessary, and beware of bridges and overpasses. They freeze first, melt last, and are subject to unexpected changes.
Before driving, check the police road alerts on its website for additional real-time guidance for specific areas. https://x.com/GvlPD
