According to the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA), three snow plows were struck by other drivers during the storm, highlighting the dangerous situation for motorists.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"437\" data-end=\"715\">&#8220;Drivers really need to slow down in these conditions. Ideally, they should be driving at 50 miles per hour or less,&#8221; said Lisa Shearer-Salim, spokesperson for the OTA. She emphasized the importance of being cautious on the roads, particularly when snow plows are in operation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"1061\">The storm led to multiple accidents across the metro, with icy roads contributing to slippery conditions. In one incident, a truck flipped over on the side of the road, further complicating efforts to keep the streets clear and safe. Authorities are urging drivers to take extra precautions, particularly when weather conditions worsen quickly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1441\">Oklahoma City Police offered advice for those who find themselves in accidents during severe weather. \u201cIf you get into a wreck or spin out and cannot move to a safe spot, it\u2019s crucial to stay inside your vehicle,\u201d advised Sgt. Dillon Quirk of the Oklahoma City Police Department. \u201cCall 911, and we will send the necessary resources to assist you in getting safely off the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1933\">Despite the ongoing cold weather, local crews are working tirelessly to keep the roads as safe as possible. Chris Daniels, the OKC Streets Superintendent, explained that although the colder temperatures will persist for the next few days, crews are still working efficiently to treat the roads. &#8220;We will continue to use our materials, but we will do so sparingly so that when the sun comes out and temperatures rise, the materials are ready to work without wasting resources,&#8221; Daniels said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1935\" data-end=\"2217\">The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) has mobilized 100 snow plows statewide to clear snow and ice from major roads. &#8220;Our crews are out on the roads around the clock, working 12-hour shifts to make sure conditions improve,&#8221; said Tara Henson, ODOT Communications Director.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2562\" data-is-last-node=\"\">With snow continuing to fall and temperatures remaining low, officials urge drivers to exercise patience and caution, as the winter weather is expected to persist for the coming days. Snow plows and emergency responders are working diligently, but motorists are reminded that their safety depends largely on their own actions behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-2 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\">\n<div class=\"items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1 flex\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pr-2 lg:pr-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent w-full isolate has-[[data-has-thread-error]]:[box-shadow:var(--sharp-edge-bottom-shadow)] has-[[data-has-thread-error]]:pt-2\">\n<div class=\"m-auto text-base px-3 md:px-4 w-full md:px-5 lg:px-4 xl:px-5\">\n<div class=\"mx-auto flex flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 md:max-w-3xl\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-center empty:hidden\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"relative z-[1] flex h-full max-w-full flex-1 flex-col\">\n<div class=\"absolute bottom-full left-0 right-0 z-20\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"group relative z-[1] flex w-full items-center\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<div id=\"composer-background\" class=\"flex w-full cursor-text flex-col rounded-3xl border border-token-border-light px-3 py-1 duration-150 ease-in-out contain-inline-size motion-safe:transition-[color,background-color,border-color,text-decoration-color,fill,stroke,box-shadow] dark:border-none dark:shadow-none shadow-[0_9px_9px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.01),_0_2px_5px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.06)] has-[:focus]:shadow-[0_2px_12px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.04),_0_9px_9px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.01),_0_2px_5px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.06)] bg-token-main-surface-primary dark:bg-[#303030]\">\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[44px] items-start pl-1\">\n<div class=\"min-w-0 max-w-full flex-1\">\n<div class=\"_prosemirror-parent_1r7mb_1 text-token-text-primary max-h-[25dvh] max-h-52 overflow-auto default-browser\">\n<div id=\"prompt-textarea\" class=\"ProseMirror\" data-virtualkeyboard=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enid, OK \u2014 Roads in Oklahoma City worsened throughout the day on Tuesday as a snowstorm hit the area, bringing frigid temperatures and hazardous driving conditions.
