With the Winter Storm looming IDOT is reminding folks to stay safe if they are attempting to travel this weekend.
IDOT recommends filling up your gas tank or fully charging your vehicle and packing winter weather essentials, such as a cellphone charger, traction materials, warm clothes, blankets, food, bottled water, first-aid kit, washer fluid and ice scraper.
IDOT also states that if you are involved in a crash, remain inside your vehicle. Exiting it during inclement weather with reduced visibility can have fatal consequences.
