Part of a large storm system hammered parts of the Midwest Saturday evening, including southern Illinois where extreme southern parts were under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY and a TORNADO WATCH for a brief period Saturday afternoon. While severe weather was ongoing just to the south, icing conditons began to take over north of the front where freezing drizzle and high winds lead to icing conditions and wind chills below zero.
Video package opens up in Jackson County on IL-149 a mile west of the town of Hurst where a two-vehicle crashed occurred due to roads icing over. There were five people in the van, including two children. One passenger was taken to the hospital while the other four occupants, including the children, were treated at the scene but okay.
Second accident was in Williamson County in Carterville where an SUV slid off the road and into a fence. Driver was not seriously injured.
Rest of video package includes footage of freezing drizzle and wind icing cars.
