Hundreds of wrecks blamed on icy conditions
Austin police responded to 410 accidents from midnight until 11 a.m. Sunday.
Sunday morning, Central Texas roads were littered with wrecked cars
This accident on the I-35 exit ramp at 290 involved 18 cars.
Officials blamed icy conditions for more than four hundred wrecks in Austin alone.
"They were still trying to add up the numbers, Mike Frick, battalion chief with Austin Fire Department, said. It was substantial. They were estimating between two and three times the normal call volume."
