Good morning, Lubbock! The fog combined with freezing temperatures has made for slick roads and officers have responded to several accidents already this morning. Let's slow down, give ourselves extra space and time, put away distractions and turn off your cruise control! pic.twitter.com/r2IkUOycYX
