County officials consider measures to halt deadly accidents on rural roadsHURON COUNTY — Four-way stops at rural intersections are not the answer to preventing fatalities, according to a Huron County Road Commission official. The Huron County Board of Commissioners discussed stop signs at rural intersections this week. He questioned whether there should be four-way stop signs on country roads. Although it was not mandatory, Huron County has placed vertical strips on stop ahead and stop signs that are extremely reflective. "Unfortunately, some of the fatalities that we've had — if it was a four-way stop, it probably wouldn't have mattered.


according to Some roads were left untreated, but ODOT and city crews continued to work throughout the morning to make the roads safe. The first major accident overnight was on I-70 WB near Hilliard Rome Rd. ODOT said they were working with police to open all lanes of I-70 WB at I-270, but keep the ramp from I-270 NB to I-70 WB closed. ABC 6/FOX 28 confirmed that a person was killed in a second crash on I-70 WB near the Madison/Franklin county line. Central Ohioans woke up to slick roads Friday morning.
