GAINESVILLE - No major injuries were reported in a rash of weather-related accidents around Gainesville Monday morning... caused by icy bridges.<br />
<br />
As a blanket of fog settled over the area during the early morning hours and with temperatures below freezing, some bridges and overpasses quickly froze-over. <br />
<br />
The 985 bridge at Queen City Parkway was one of the major problem areas. Three seperate wrecks were reported there within about 10 minutes around 7:00.<br />
<br />
Hall County sheriff's deputies, the Georgia State patrol and state Department of Transportation had a number of other problem areas to deal with, as well as drivers hit the skids all morning long. <br />
<br />
The northbound lanes of the Queen City Parkway bridge were closed for about one-and-a-half hours.<br />
<br />
DOT crews were also called out to the Atlanta Highway bridge near Chicopee which was also icy. One witness reports that one car skidded and hit a guardrail at that location.<br />
