SALT LAKE CITY — Snow, rain, ice and fog are causing dangerous driving conditions and leading to crashes and slide-offs in different parts of northern Utah Thursday morning.
The Box Elder Communications Center reports there are crashes and slide-offs "all over the county" and they're urging drivers to slow down.
Drivers are advised to use chains and four-wheel drive along U.S. Highway 89/91 between Brigham City and Wellsville.

The Utah Department of Transportation urges drivers to use caution in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons as there may be patches of snow and low visibility conditions.
