Sheriff calls on Citizens to Slow Down

PRESS RELEASE- from Sheriff Phil Hodapp

      Be advised that the highways are very slippery this morning.  We have had several calls of cars in ditches west and north of Bemidji, especially on Hwy 2 and Hwy 89.  These accidents included rollovers and serious crashes. The daytime high temperature today is near freezing and the rain we received earlier this morning has turned to ice.  Please slow down and especially watch intersections and curves.  Our emergency responders are recommending speeds under 30 miles per hour at maximum due to conditions. 

 

Thank you - Sheriff Phil Hodapp, Beltrami County Sheriff's Office
