CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Following last night’s snow, the Clarksville Police Department has been actively responding to numerous motor vehicle crashes and motorist assist calls. Beginning at around 7 p.m. last night, CPD responded to 14 crashes involving injuries, 61 property damage incidents, and 40 motorist assists, according to CPD spokesperson Scott Beaubien.
The Clarksville Street Department and TDOT are working diligently to clear the roads but strongly advise residents to limit travel unless absolutely necessary until conditions improve.
CPD wants to remind citizens that bridges and overpasses tend to freeze before roadways. They say, “if you must drive, slow down, increase your following distance, and remain vigilant for icy patches.”
Clarksville residents can stay informed about road conditions by accessing the city’s live traffic cameras, which provide real-time views of key intersections and roadways.
