Anchorage police are advising drivers to stay off the roads tonight because of icing conditions, caused by freezing rain.
By 10:45pm Wednesday night, A.P.D. dispatch said they had more than one-hundreds reports of vehicles sliding into ditches.
Police specifically mentioned DeArmoun Rd, Rabbit Creek Rd. and Eagle River Loop Rd. as trouble spots.
Driver Debbie Hulen told Channel 2 News "once I got off of the Hiland Road exit to Eagle River Loop, when you rounded that first corner you could just see mass chaos ahead of you. There was one police car with the lights on and there were cars every which way with their noses into the ditches on either side of the road."
No roads were officially closed as of late Wednesday night, but police were urging drivers to stay off the roads as a precaution.
Anchorage was under a freezing rain advisory until midnight.
Update: 11:45pm, Feb. 8.
