This tragic crash resulted in multiple injuries and one fatality. The entire intersection for both roadways had to be closed down for several .hours in extremely cold temperatures to secure the scene and to allow fire rescue personnel access to the crash, investigators to gather evidence, to speak with witnesses and for the eventual clean up to begin. To assure the safety of those involved in the crash, as well as that of all the first responders, we asked for and received the assistance from several agencies. I would like to formally acknowledge that the assistance provided by your agency was very much appreciated by our officers on scene and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and members of your agency for rendering that assistance. Although it is unfortunate that this tragic incident occurred, it is reassuring to know that we are here for each other when such times arise and when assistance is requested to provide the excellent public safety services that our communities not only deserve, but have grown to expect.
