MISHAWAKA — Blowing snow created hazardous driving conditions on area roads Monday morning.

Indiana State Police reported several slide-offs and accidents on the Toll Road from Illinois all the way to Mishawaka. In a press release issued around noon, troopers urged drivers to slow down and pay attention.

According to that press release, troopers in the Lowell District were extremely busy and investigated numerous slide-offs, 40 property damage crashes and 4 personal injury crashes in Lake, Newton and Jasper counties.

In St. Joseph County, State Road 2 was shut down after a semi jackknifed on the road around 8:30 Monday morning. Other than that police were responding to mostly minor accidents.

At least one commuter said conditions on side streets were not much fun Monday.

"Oh it's been rough, very slick," said Nate Niespodziany. "You just gotta be careful and watch people around you."

Snow was expected to taper off mid-afternoon with more expected later in the week.
