Evening crashes blamed on icy roads

Icy roads have sent a number of cars into ditches or into other cars. Starting just after 4pm Monday Peru Police and Fire Departments began receiving calls.  In one crash, a utility pole was damaged.

It was not long after that they were called to a crash on Shooting Park Road near Parkside School.  It would be one of several accidents on that stretch of Shooting Park Road.

Accidents were not limited to Peru. There was a report of an overturned car on the exit ramp to Route 351 from westbound Interstate 80.
