A Facebook reel posted Jan. 28 shows helicopter clips from Mississippi that illustrate icy, hazardous road conditions and why “road conditions are no joke,” the post said. The post included the line, “Ice doesn’t care how good of a driver you think you are.”
Aerial footage can give authorities and the public a clear view of slick surfaces and traffic hazards during winter storms. Law enforcement and transportation agencies commonly use aerial and highway cameras to assess conditions and prioritize response, though the post did not identify specific agencies.
The post said the organization is “taking an abundance of caution and will continue to provide updates as necessary” and urged residents to stay safe. The reel also included a disclaimer saying the poster did not own the rights to the music used.
Drivers should exercise caution: reduce speed, increase following distance and avoid nonessential travel when roads are icy. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
