Heavy snow arrived in Reno, Nevada, Monday morning, slowing travel considerably on Interstates 80 and 395 into and around the city during the morning rush hour.
Authorities said traffic was hardly moving along some stretches of those interstates starting at about 5 a.m. Monday morning, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. The snowy conditions led to several slide-offs and at least one jackknifed tractor-trailer, the report added.
Through 6 a.m. local time, no injuries had been reported from any of the accidents that occurred on snowy roads, the Gazette-Journal also reported.
