Raleigh area DU'ers. Be safe driving this morning.

Multiple accidents around 540 and 440 interchanges due to black ice. So far, I saw two cars in separate accidents that even caught fire. Lots of slowdowns.

But some dumbass put the state capital right in the middle of the state and there's no good way to get around it.

and people drive way too fast for the conditions. Most of the accidents I saw were around bridges and overpasses that were iced over.

It's happening because they can't see the ice.
