Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is Advising Motorists to Avoid Travel

Minden, NV – With a new series of winter storms hitting Douglas County, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) is asking drivers to stay off of the roads in unnecessary and non-emergency situations. DCSO is currently responding to numerous traffic accidents and stranded motorists.

The snow and slush that has fallen on roadways throughout the day is leading to reduced traction. As temperatures continue to drop, ice has the potential to form under a light layer of snow on the roadway.

Updated road conditions, including winter road closures and incidents, are available by dialing “511,” logging on to nvroads.com, or using the Nevada 511 app before driving.
