Update on car in creek: unfortunately 2 fatalities. Car most likely been in water for several hours. Media:contact EFR PIO for more info.

From Pam on Facebook:
Oh no.... 74 just past Kittredge heading down the canyon is a SHEET OF ICE!!! There is a shady area for a stretch....I wish they would get out there and salt it!!!

Spoke with the Evergreen Fire Rescue PIO, there's not much else to report at this time. The car went off the road at a curvy spot, it appears to have hit a tree and flipped before landing in the creek sometime last night. They know it was there for several hours based on the ice on the car. Any additional details will likely come from the coroner's office later.

We'll let you know when traffic can go through again.
