According to neighbors, the ice was there because of a water main leak that has not been fixed for months.
Much of the state continues to experience hard freeze conditions. Low temperatures Tuesday morning dropped into the teens across much of the state. Any moisture on roads and or bridges would freeze instantly leading to hazardous travel.
Shortly after the accident, utility crews were at the scene working on the leak.
