GRAPEVINE, Texas — Grapevine police worked simultaneous crashes involving multiple cars on southbound SH 121 on Monday morning.
TxDOT Fort Worth said the southbound SH 121 ramp to westbound SH 114 was closed due to the accidents. It has since reopened.
According to police, the three crashes on 121 happened at about 10:15 a.m. Monday and involved 10 vehicles including a firetruck. Officials said the firetruck was helping with a separate crash when it was struck by multiple vehicles.
One person was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police say.
Grapevine police said they responded to 10 weather-related accidents in total on Monday. They are reminding drivers to avoid elevated roads, bridges and overpasses with ice.
"No matter what road you are on, slow down and use extreme caution," the department posted on Facebook.
Travel in North Texas has been slippery on side roads and residential roads. But main roads are mostly dry and snow-free since the snow has been cleared off. However, they do have slick spots on bridges and overpasses. Officials say to use caution if you have to be out and about.
