The Arctic cold front that sent temperatures plummeting the last few days resulted in an extra day off for local students. Students in Livingston, Leggett, Goodrich, Onalaska, Big Sandy and Corrigan-Camden ISDs were already off Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. However, the inclement weather resulted in school officials in all six districts opting to close Tuesday as well. All of the districts were slated to return to school on Wednesday, although a couple of the districts (Goodrich and Corrigan-Camden) were having delayed starts to accommodate the buses.
Icy road conditions also resulted in all Polk County offices, as well as City of Livingston offices and City of Onalaska offices opting to close Tuesday.
A series of five separate collisions prompted by the icy road conditions on U.S. 59 on the Trinity River Bridge south of Goodrich around 8:30 a.m. Monday resulted in a 12-vehicle pileup that resulted in the death of a Jasper woman and three other individuals being transported to area hospitals with injuries sustained in the collisions.
