INDIANAPOLIS -- Police say slick roads Saturday were to blame for dozens of accidents across central Indiana, including a deadly one on I-70.
In Indianapolis, police worked more than 160 accidents, with 19 of them resulting in injuries between midnight and 5 p.m. Saturday.
According to RTV6 meteorologists, most of central Indiana picked up between .3 inches and .5 inches of snow between Saturday morning and early afternoon. Most of that snow had moved out of the area by around 2 p.m. but the cold temperatures kept some roads slick into the evening.
