Roads

Wayne Police Capt. Daniel Daly said there were a handful of minor motor vehicle crashes earlier in the day and officers also responded to some reports of vehicles stuck at the bottoms of hills when the temperature first dropped and roads became icy.

Daly said, "Those conditions seem to have resolved now that plows and salters have hit those roadways."
