Local law enforcement officials said the area most affected was near mile-marker 93 where several drivers lost control, slid off the interstate or struck other vehicles. None of the accidents resulted in life-threatening injuries.
Accident reports on I-10 began coming in about 5 p.m. Thursday, and the interstate was closed about midnight and not fully reopened until about 9 a.m. Friday.
Otherwise, road conditions around Luna County were reported as snow-packed and icy in spots, but drivers were exercising caution, slowing down and being courteous, so even minor fender-benders were few.
