Called 911 b/c I came across an accident on Rt 9 N in Middletown. DOT truck comes in, skids across highway. Then a box truck hits guardrail.

I slid seven times coming in. Saw two accidents and three stopped cars. Almost fell twice. And saw a crashed tractor trailer on I-84 west.

Just rescued a friend with a car that couldn't make it up an icy hill. The roads are really bad.
