Snow Snarls Reno Traffic, Sierra Chain Controls On I-80

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Another round of snow snarled traffic with more than a dozen crashes on slippery roads in Reno and triggered chain controls on I-80 in the Sierra.

At least 18 traffic accidents were reported Tuesday during the morning commute in Reno-Sparks, where several inches of snow fell.

No serious injuries were reported. Chains were mandatory with few exceptions for a 55-mile stretch of I-80 from the California-Nevada line west of Reno over the top of Donner Pass in California.
