South Dakota officials were cautioning travelers that travel may be nearly impossible in many areas during the weekend and Monday.
Ipswich emergency crews were called to an accident involving a semi on the icy, snowy roads on Saturday west of Ipswich.
Motorists should visit www.safetravelusa.com/sd, download the SDDOT 511 app or call 5-1-1 to check the latest road conditions and travel advisories before heading out. Sign up for ClearPath511 for closure notifications by text message or email.
The South Dakota DOT urges you to:
Keep a winter weather survival kit in your car. The kit should include blankets, warm clothing, water, energy bars, a flashlight, a distress flag, a shovel and matches.
Drive with your headlights on so you can be seen by other motorists from the front and rear.
