DETROIT (WWJ) - Freezing drizzle overnight has left metro Detroit roads slick and icy, leading to slowdowns and accidents Wednesday morning.
A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for all of Southeast Michigan until 10 a.m.
Forecasters say freezing drizzle will come to an end this morning, but will cause hazardous driving especially on untreated roads, bridges and exit ramps.
Several accidents, mainly spin-outs, have been reported on all local freeways. Michigan State Police say their troopers alone have responded to roughly 100 accidents since midnight.
Drivers are urged to take caution, go slower and leave plenty of stopping distance between vehicles.
Also be careful while walking in parking lots where ice may be present but not obvious to the eye.
