Bridges, exit and entrance ramps and side streets are starting to get a little nasty.

Here are some accidents over the past hour or so. There are a few more, but I haven't received enough information on them yet.

• Interstate 635 and State Avenue: A one vehicle which caused no injuries. The black vehicle slid into a ditch near the exit and entrance ramp areas.
• Interstate 635 and Interstate 70: A similar accident happened. No injury.

• A minor accident was reported on Interstate 435 somewhere in Wyandotte County.

Along with those accidents and others mentioned earlier today, numerous slick roads are being reported and road crews are being called out to address slick spots.

Needless to say, proceed with caution.

A heavy rescue unit has been called out to a two-car accident on the Kansas Avenue bridge above the Kansas river.

One party is described as trapped in a vehicle. According to respondents at the scene, it was a head on collision.

Everyone in the second vehicle have exited the vehicle.

UPDATE: The trapped victim is being transported to a local hospital. She is suffering from "head trauma" and is complaining of major pain in her left hip area.
