INDIANAPOLIS -
Police say they'll tow abandoned vehicles from interstate highways in the Indianapolis district before a winter storm starts dumping snow on the area
Indianapolis State Police Indianapolis Post commander Lt. Jon Smithers said towing would begin Tuesday afternoon.
Smithers says abandoned vehicles on the interstate system during snow and icy conditions present a safety hazard for the motoring public and snow plow drivers. He says towing the abandoned vehicles removes an obstacle that the motoring public could crash into or a plow driver has to work around during inclement weather.
The Indianapolis district includes Marion County and most of the counties adjacent to it.
State police say motorists can check Indiana road conditions by calling 1- 800-261-7623 or visiting the Indiana Department of Transportation's website, Traffic Wise.
Other tips:
USE TXT MSGING: During an emergency situation, text messages go through quicker than voice calls because they require fewer system resources.
Program Emergency Numbers: Make sure all your emergency numbers, including family members, the hospital, police and fire station, are in your phone.
Limit non-emergency calls: Keeping calls to a minimum will conserve battery power and free up wireless networks for emergencies.
Charge Your Wireless Devices: Make sure all of your devices are charged. Car chargers can be especially helpful to ensure you have back up power.
Download the SkyTrak Weather (Droid/iPhone) app to keep track of the storm.
Sign up for Personal Forecast - This allows you to receive text or email alerts whenever there is a watch or warning in the counties you have specified.
Interactive radar - Zoom in and get a closer look at the shape and path of the storm.
