Many vehicles slid into ditches Monday across Washington County during the winter storm. The sleet and four inches of snow made area roads slick. According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office there were nine car accidents before 7 p.m., many were on Highway 218. Shortly before 1 p.m., an accident was reported in the 1300 grid of Highway 1 near Kalona where a vehicle struck the bridge. No injuries or damage to the bridge was reported.
