Snow causes rash of early morning commute accidents

The dusting of snow Monday night coupled with continuing low temperatures was just enough to cause a rash of traffic headaches during the morning rush hour in the Northland.

The dusting of snow Monday night coupled with continuing low temperatures was just enough to cause a rash of traffic headaches during the morning rush hour in the Northland.

Interstate 35 in Duluth was closed for about a half hour before 7 a.m. after two spinouts in the tunnel areas, the Minnesota State Patrol reported. The southbound lanes were blocked to allow Minnesota Department of Transportation crews to clear the slippery road surface.

A rollover accident near Cloquet on the interstate caused a delay on northbound I-35 just before 8 a.m.

Other spinouts were reported on city streets as well. No injuries were reported.

Troopers were busy throughout the morning responding to spinouts, the State Patrol reported.
