Iowa traffic: Wet roads, standing water and a metro crash
LATER ON TODAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, NOW WE’RE GOING TO HEAD BACK OUT TO 3580 AT DOUGLASS, WHERE WE’VE BEEN MONITORING THIS CRASH THAT’S BEEN OUT HERE FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES RIGHT NOW. SO IF YOU ARE HEADING OUT THE DOOR HERE FROM GRIMES, GRANGER, URBANDALE, TAKING A RIDER CORNER INTO THE WEST MIXMASTER, THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE RUNNING INTO. THAT CRASH IS BLOCKING YOUR WESTBOUND LEFT LANES THERE STILL STANDING WATER IN THAT IN THOSE LANES OF THE D.O.T. IS REPORTING. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT FOLKS ARE STILL MOVING STEADILY THROUGH THERE, BUT THEY ARE HEADING QUITE A SLOW DOWN RIGHT NOW, SLOWING YOU DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE MOVING ABOUT YELLOW, MAYBE LIKE 30 TO 40MPH RIGHT NOW. SO I DON’T THINK IT’S WORTH IT TO TAKE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE AT THIS POINT. TRAFFIC IS STILL MOVING THROUGH THERE STEADILY, BUT JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HIT THAT SLOWDOWN. YOU MIGHT BE SEEING SOME STANDING WATER,
