Police stated that the number of injuries was still unknown, noting that they were still working on the accident on Interstate 35 near downtown Fort Worth.

Emergency officials mentioned that more than two dozen vehicles were involved in a pileup on an icy road, farther south, in Austin, noting that one person was injured.

Elsewhere, ice storm warnings were in effect from Arkansas to Kentucky, while another winter storm was predicted to bring snow to Mid-Atlantic states, according to the National Weather Service.

More than 125,000 homes and businesses were cut off electricity this morning, largely in Kentucky and West Virginia, according to the website poweroutage.us, which tracks utility reports.

Meanwhile, officials in central Kentucky urged people to stay home due to icy conditions.

Lexington police said in a tweet that crews have been responding to numerous calls of icy limbs and power lines that have fallen on vehicles and roadways, urging people not to travel “unless absolutely necessary.”
