"Tow trucks are on the way," the police department stated, assuring the public that the roads would be assessed and treated as necessary by NTE, according to the Bedford Texas Police Department.
Drivers were urged to exercise caution while out on the roads, with the Bedford PD advising, "Please remember, if you have to be out on the roads, please go slow and give plenty of distance between you and other drivers." This plea for safety underscores the precarious nature of road conditions that may have contributed to the traffic accident initially, as per Bedford Texas Police Department.
