LACRESCENT, Minn. – A motorist swiped the guard rail on a bridge near LaCrescent overnight, apparently due to icy condition. The driver had moved on before a Winona County deputy arrived. The accident was one of five weather-related calls to the county sheriff’s office during the first wave of a massive winter storm. Two of the accidents involved vehicles off the road. There were no injuries. On Highway 43 outside Winona, deputies provided lights for a semi-truck struggling uphill on snow-covered and ice-covered surfaces.
