The Shawano County Sheriff’s Office handled a high volume of calls on March 16th, with winter driving conditions playing a major role in many incidents.
Deputies responded to numerous traffic accidents throughout the early morning hours, particularly along Highway 29, where multiple vehicles slid off the roadway or became stuck in ditches. In several cases, drivers reported losing control due to snow-covered roads, though most incidents did not involve serious injuries.
Disabled vehicles were also a major issue across the county, with reports of cars, trucks, and even semi-trailers blocking roadways or exit ramps. At one point, a semi was reported stuck and partially blocking Highway 55, while another incident had an exit ramp completely shut down due to a stranded truck.

Additional activity included alarms, traffic hazards, and general assists, including helping motorists out of ditches and assisting residents affected by the weather.
Authorities are reminding drivers to slow down, allow extra travel time, and be prepared for rapidly changing road conditions as winter weather continues to impact the area.
