Whose in charge of the Ohio bridges going in and out of ky and oh? I know the city of Ashland is responsible for our viaduct.Everone should be greatfull they were not in that pile up. It could had happened on the OH briges just as well. Someone just could've gone into the river.No it no laughing matter. I've lived in Ashland for 6yrs this is the first time of me hearing anything of a pile up on the bridge. Blame it on the weather not the divers. It doesnt matter if you are from OH or Ky. If thats the case then None of u could make it in Lexington, KY rush Hour at 5PM - 6PM.

Their had been no salt put down on the viaduct that night I guarantee. It was a solid sheet of ice. I do agree with jay it probably was a Buckeye who started it!!

Just to let all of you know. I know for a fact that the viaduct DOES get salted and on bridges and things like that it's not gonna completely melt all of the ice. The ice gets packed on it because of all the traffic which causes nothing but a complete sheet of ice. give our state guys a break. Weather like this they work their butts off. they take shifts working 12 hours so it's not there fault. it was just and accident...but if u are driving on a bridge or a viaduct just let off your gas and dont it your brakes...hitting your brakes only makes things worse by making you slide you cant get traction. If anything this pile up was caused by people that do not know how to drive in this weather. It's not about where you are from JAY!!!! Get a life people and realize that this really wasnt anyones fault. just completely weather related.
