The winter storm may not have packed a huge punch, but Cloverdale first responders were busy responding to accidents due to icy road conditions last night.

One of the accidents took place at mile marker 40 on I-70 West and was a vehicle vs tree with heavy entrapment. 

Upon arrival, first responders found the driver to be uninjured, but the passenger to be entrapped with serious injuries, but was in stable condition when he left the scene, according to Cloverdale Volunteer Fire Department Lt. Stephen Caulkens. 

"Firefighters were tasked with a very difficult extrication and it took an hour and two minutes to free the passenger. Firefighters did a great job with this very difficult extrication the passenger was awake and alert the entire time despite his serious injuries. Medic-5 transported the injured male to Indianapolis for treatment of his injuries," Caulkens said.

The other major accident took place at the 31 mile marker on I-70 East.  According to Caulkens, I-70 was icing up from the freezing drizzle. 

"Firefighters checked a couple other vehicles that were off the roadway on the way to this accident. I-70 was down to 1 lane until Curtis Wrecker Service to move the crashed semi," he said. 

With winter underway, Caulkens offered a tip to motorists.

"Just watch the road conditions and slow down. We had a mist of rain that hit with the temps just made some spots on the roadway pretty icy. People just need to be more aware of those conditions and slow down," Caulkens said
