Austin first responders were at the scene due to a report of a vehicle crash Wednesday night. No injuries were reported.

AUSTIN, Texas — Austin first responders have cleared the scene of a one-vehicle crash on a flyover on Wednesday evening and are reporting ice accumulation on overpasses. 

Austin-Travis County EMS and the Austin Fire Department responded to the incident just after 7 p.m. on the flyover along eastbound State Highway 71 to northbound S. State Highway 130. 

No injuries have been reported, but ATCEMS said 10 vehicles were stuck on the overpass after the crash due to ice.

ATCEMS urged drivers to use extreme caution and stick to surface streets whenever possible if they must drive on Wednesday night.
