There were 18 crashes in a three-hour span on the Interstate in Racine County Saturday night

 From The Journal Times.com:

RACINE COUNTY — Between 10 p.m. Saturday and 1 a.m. Sunday, 18 crashes were reported on a 7.5-mile stretch of the interstate between Highway KR and Highway K, according to the Racine County Sheriff's Office.

That's one crash every 10 minutes.

The reason for each of the crashes, according to the Sheriff's Office, was "a combination of freezing roadways and (drivers) operating too fast for conditions."

Despite so many crashes, only five injuries were reported, none of which were reported to be life-threatening.

This is why I hate driving.  People no longer have any idea of what they're doing on the road.  The last guy who cut me off gave me the finger.
