LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- MetroSafe reported several crashes in the Louisville area as a mix of rain and snow hit on Saturday morning.
Lanes were blocked in both directions on Interstate 265 at just past I-64 in Jefferson County due to a crash. Those lanes have since been cleared for traffic.

The left lane on the ramp from I-264 West to I-64 near Portland is currently blocked due to a crash.
Salvador Melendez, a spokesperson for Metro Public Works, said last night several members of Metro's Snow Team were monitoring conditions on bridge decks, overpasses, hills and other elevated roadways due to freezing temperatures.
"If the need for salt treatment arises, Public Works crews will have 15 salt trucks loaded and on standby, ready to treat those areas to prevent slick spots from forming," Melendez said in a statement.
