Drivers in the Magnolia area have been warned to stay off of Interstate 90 due to dangerous conditions. The roads are covered in black ice, making them treacherous and unsafe for travel. Officials are urging drivers to stay home for their own safety as well as that of others. This warning comes after a photo was posted on social media showing I90 near Kadoka, SD closed due to hazardous conditions. The photo showed icy roads and snow drifts blocking the highway, making it impossible for vehicles to pass safely. Local authorities have been working hard to clear the roads and make them safe again but progress has been slow due to the extreme weather conditions. They urge all drivers in the area to avoid using I90 until further notice or risk serious injury or death. In addition, they also advise against driving on any other roadways unless absolutely necessary as many areas are still experiencing icy conditions and low visibility due to snowfall. Drivers should take extra caution when driving in these areas and be aware of their surroundings at all times. The public is asked not only for their own safety but also for that of first responders who may be called upon if an accident occurs on the roadway. Stay home, stay safe, and wait until it's safe before venturing out onto the roads again.
