Slick roads make for tricky driving around county

DeKALB – Dangerous driving conditions caused by a wintry mix that blew through DeKalb County during the weekend should improve throughout the week, county officials said.

Icy roads have kept the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office busy since 8 p.m. Saturday.  Since that time, officers have responded to 10 vehicle collisions – eight of which caused minor injuries – and an additional eight calls from motorists stuck in ditches.

A particularly troublesome area has been Keslinger Road south of Cortland, where a motorist took out a utility pole late Saturday that caused an hour-long road closure near the intersection for Keslinger and Chase Road, as authorities worked to clear power lines from the pavement.
