MEXICO, Mo. (KMIZ)

Road conditions were mostly clear in Mexico on Friday. Elsewhere in Audrain County, some drivers ran into poor driving conditions.

Cpl. Justin Dunn with the Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop B said troopers received 28 calls as of 11 a.m.

Dunn said that 10 of those calls were for stranded motorists and eight were for crashes. Of the crashes reported, two were injury-related.

"With the weather the way it is and the continued snowfall, MoDOT will have their work cut out for them and keep out most of the day, into the evening and overnight hours," Dunn said.

It looks like snow will be making a return over the next couple of days. Please slow down, increase your following distance, and buckle up. If you don’t have to travel, please don’t. It does not have to be a major snow event to make travel difficult and dangerous. pic.twitter.com/y77A90op8F
