A light freeze early this morning caused a bit of black ice on streets and overpasses in Midland and Odessa early Wed. morning.
Fire and EMS crews were overtaxed in both cities responding two numerous injury accidents between 6:30 and 7:30. A rollover on I20 at FM 866 west of Odessa had minor injuries; but a car-pedestrian accident on Odessa's east side caused critical injuries. Most of the injuries in more than six accidents within 30 minutes in Midland netted mostly minor injuries. Parts of Midland's Loop 250 and a section of Hwy 191 were totally blocked off due to wrecks that blocked all lanes of traffic.
