Snow-slick roads caused several accidents throughout the day in the county where the crash occurred, said sheriff's dispatcher Vannessa Haley. The snow started falling at about 9 a.m. and grew heavier at about 12:45 p.m., when dispatchers received reports of the accident, Haley said.
"We had a lot of vehicles just generally going off the road," Haley said. "Most of which throughout the day weren't severe until we had this accident."
