Too many people driving too fast on slippery roads, means lots of crashes.

58-of them in west-central Minnesota.

State Patrol Sargeant Jesse Grabow says two-day totals, ending Sunday night, show of those 58-crashes, 39 were roll-overs.

Fortunately only a hand-full of injuries--none of them serious.

In addition to the roll-overs Grabow says another 138-cars and trucks slid off slick roads and needed help to get out.

And Grabow says, drunk driving was a factor in at least two incidents.

State-wide over the two-day period, more than 700-crashes, or cars sliding off the roads, with one person seriously injured.

Grabow says much of this could have been prevented by drivers slowing down and paying attention.
