The Iowa State Patrol has closed down the south bound lanes of Interstate 35, near the 204 mile maker in Worth county, due to a serious injury accident. Eye-witnesses report that a semi-trailer has jack-knifed across both lanes.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety is reporting that all roads in north central Iowa are "generally 100 percent ice covered" and that travel is not advised. There is also a tow ban in effect for Hwy 3 and north. The area includes Butler, Cerro Gordo, Floyd, Franklin, Hancock, Kossuth, Mitchell, Winnebago, Worth and Wright counties.

Iowa road conditions can be followed via a state website. Traveling conditions in most of Iowa are expected to deteriorate throughout the day and into the night.
