Law enforcement officials report low slide-off count, credit motorists

Batesville, in. — Local enforcement agencies feel fortunate after an onslaught of harsh winter conditions this week.

The Ripley County Sheriff’s Department reported six slide-offs with no injuries, authorities in Franklin County reported two non-injury slide-offs and the Indiana State Police reported just a few.

Forecasters from the National Weather Service are watching a weaker system that could produce similar conditions for the Wednesday morning commute.
