Hancock County officials are working accidents on Interstate 10 because of icy road and bridge conditions, something they said they had not anticipated having to address.

“Well, we never anticipated using this graphic, but here goes,” HCSO officials said on a social media post warning of icy conditions. “We are receiving reports of icy roads throughout Hancock County. Please use caution in driving to/from places that are essential. Please refrain from driving on roadways if not essential.”

A multi-car pileup on the Louisiana side of the East Pearl River Bridge has shut down traffic, causing delays along Interstate 10 as officials work the scene.
