Ice storm obviously. Very dangerous conditions, and this wasn’t the first, nor will it be the last.

Grew up dealing with snow in NE Ohio, then even more so for four years in Upstate New York. Living in Dallas for a couple years after that, with inch thick ice on winter freeways and Texas drivers seemingly unaware they were skating on a rink, was far worse.

Parts of the investigation report on the crash released to the local Talking Heads, revealed that the last speed monitoring prior the Trinity River bridge recorded consistent traffic speeds of 70-80 mph.

People driving the toll road paid to drive the higher speed limits and by golly, icing conditions was not going to detour them.
