A recent video capturing the icy and snow-covered conditions on I-49 in North Louisiana serves as an important reminder of the importance of heeding state officials' advice to avoid traveling during icy or snowy conditions. Not only do we have less experience driving in these icy conditions we also do not drive vehicles with the proper snow tires making traveling during this time extremely dangerous.
Officials with the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office say that the roadway in the 1400 block of Grand Bois Road is closed to traffic until repairs can be made.
