The ice storm this January 2023 is really taking a toll on civilians in Memphis. On a routine Tuesday morning and while drivers were commuting to work, a total of twelve cars slid and crashed into each other on the icy Third Street. Thankfully no drivers were critically injured, and just five drivers were taken to the hospital for minor injuries. Year in and year out, we must prepare for the variations of winter weather in Memphis, and we are all very familiar with the necessary caution on icy streets and highways.
It’s inevitably understandable as to why schools and businesses remain shut down even after the bulk of a snow storm has blown over. A slightly icy road can be equally as dangerous and risky as a completely iced-over road. There is simply no way to calculate the amount of risk while you are out and about during or after a winter storm. These drivers in the Tuesday morning pileup could have all likely been extremely cautious while driving. Yet, given it was the early hours of the morning, there’s a good chance the ice was still fresh from nighttime. Nonetheless, we all want to carry on with our day-to-day lives despite current obstacles. And it’s too easy to assume that we ourselves would never end up being the victim of any type of accident.
