I used the Waze app when ttavelling. It will tell you data reported by other users, for wrecks and other travel delays. The app routed me around several wrecks by going from the interstate to the nearby state highway. It saved a lot of time....technology can be cool stuff sometimes.

Stay safe Cole, on the road is a bad place to be.
I expect to see numerous wrecks here tomorrow morning. November is the most treacherous time because the road crews are not out on a daily basis to deal with the first ice. Even when we know it's coming, they just don't go out and sand until it's confirmed dangerous.
I know it's worse in places where there is no such winter road maintenance in place. We get safer once the crews are up and running here. But there will be wrecks before they get into gear.
