Drifting snow has turned to ice on rural roads as temperatures dropped this evening, causing accidents around the county, the Rock County Sheriff's Department reports.

Highway 140 has a number of slippery spots, and emergency responders have been busy with accidents in several other areas, the department's Sgt. Viengkhone Nouansacksy said shortly before 7 p.m.

Accidents with injuries were reported at 4:40 p.m. at highways 140 and 67 near Clinton and at 6:35 p.m. at Highway 26 and County N north of Milton.

Nouansacksy said Interstate 90/39 was not one of the problem areas, and traffic was moving fine.
