Indiana State Police release weekend weather statistics

Due to the blizzard-like conditions that blew through Michiana over the holiday weekend, many motorists found themselves driving in difficult situations.

Those weather conditions led to Indiana State troopers to respond to a high amount of vehicle incidents throughout the past several days, particularly between Thursday afternoon and Sunday morning.

State police from the Indiana Lowell Post compiled a list showing the number of motorists served and response rates:

• Property Damage Crashes- 153
• Crashes Involving Injuries- 28
• Slide Offs (non-damage but tow required)- 83
• Assist Motorists- 157
• Impaired Drivers- 5
• Troopers Injured- 1

Troopers also issued a thank you to several local police departments as well as the Indiana Department of Transportation for their support throughout the winter weather event.
