Emergency Services were kept busy on an icy Halloween night, as fender benders and alarms kept firefighters and police jumping. 

The biggest incident may have been a ten car collision on the overpass that closed it for over an hour.

Fire Stations one and three had to respond, as well as police and paramedics.

There were reports of a few minor injuries, and some vehicles were pretty seriously damaged.

Some of the vehicles were able to leave the overpass on their own, but others had to be towed. 

Even tow trucks had trouble negotiating the glare ice that formed,and the overpass was closed to all traffic for over an hour. 

Firefighters had to stay on scene until a sander could be freed up to ensure safety.
