Section Of Highway 75 Closed In McKinney Due To 'Extremely Dangerous Driving Conditions'
McKINNEY, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - All northbound lanes of 75/Central were closed Thursday night, Feb. 3 at Eldorado due to "extremely dangerous driving conditions," McKinney Police said.
There were multiple disabled vehicles police were working to clear around 7:40 p.m.
"Please avoid the area," McKinney Police said.
After being hit with rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow during the last 24 hours, along with temperatures in the 20s, many North Texas roadways are best avoided for the time being if at all possible.
In Dallas, CBS 11 found multiple vehicles stuck on the side of roads or on the shoulders of them after losing control on the ice that covers North Central Expressway.
Some of those drivers ventured out only to find stores and restaurants they were heading to closing early, like Dillon Stevens trying to get to a supermarket.
"I was going to get some steak and eggs for breakfast and pick up some chicken for tonight," said Stevens.
He said the two mile drive wasn't as easy as he expected.
"Everyone's going about 10 miles an hour on the side roads and it is slick," he said.
