Tennessee Department of Transportation crews busy clearing roads and say the East Tennessee region saw 118 crashes from midnight Friday into Saturday morning.

Mark Nagi with TDOT says the storm created conditions that remain dangerous for drivers this weekend.

TDOT say SR 34/US 421 in Sullivan County looks good today, but refreezing is possible as temperatures drop. Please use extreme caution if your have to be on the roads in East Tennessee the next few days.

Mark Nagi with TDOT saystThe snow may have slowed down, but @myTDOT crews are still hard at work and have much to do. One focus today in East Tennessee is clearing interstate ramps and shoulders. Remember to give our team plenty of room to safely do their jobs – making the roads safer for everyone.
