RPD: Eastbound Harrison Avenue between 20th Street and Ohio Parkway is shutdown due to slick conditions and numerous accidents. Use caution at the North Second/Spring Creek interchanges as that area is also extremely slick. Drive slowly and carefully this morning!
We all knew it was coming. The first snow fall, brings a lot of accidents.
Several accidents are being reported all over the area.
The worst ones are on the bypass and also business 20, I-39 and also on I-90. Other roads that are being reported that are very slick: Caledonia road, N Second, Perryville, Harrison, Mulford, Bridge st, N Main, RT 75, Pretty much every main road is slick this morning via RS fan reports.
Several cars in the ditches, some have rolled over. Extrication was needed at a one of the scenes, at Montague and 20.
Injuries have been reported, but I have yet to hear any life threatening injuries. Sounds like most are non life threatening injuries.
Please allow extra time to travel this morning, drive slow and safe

Sources reporting 2 different hit & run accidents.
The first one happened at Forest Hills and Riverside around 7:30 pm.
The second one happened near N Second and Drexel around 8:30 pm. A witness said a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle, and the vehicle fled the scene.
No suspect information on either of these, due to the police encryption.
Injuries were reported at both scenes. Unknown on how severe the injuries are. If you have any information, call the police.
Another violent day in the city of Rockford and surrounding areas.
Sources told us about a shooting victim at Swedish American Hospital. Unknown if the shooting took place at the hospital or the victim was shot at a different location and then transported there.
Sources also told us about the Advanced Auto on Auburn that was robbed.
We tried to get information from the police, they said “No comment”
No suspect information on any of these calls. Safe to assume none have been captured and are still roaming the area.
But we can confirm these via the police call logs.
UPDATE from the RPD:
On Tuesday October 30, 2018 at 7:12pm, Rockford Officers responded to Advance Auto Parts located at 3019 Auburn St in reference to an aggravated robbery. The suspect implied he had a weapon and demanded money from the clerk whom complied. The suspect fled out to the parking lot, got into a vehicle, and drove away eastbound on Auburn St. There were customers inside of the business during the incident but no injuries were reported.
This is an on-going investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Rockford Police Department at (815) 966-2900 or Rockford Area Crime Stoppers at (815) 963-7867.

The North Park Fire Protection District has added a rescue tax to the upcoming ballot. If passed, the additional dollars would help support equipment maintenance and provide volunteers with on-call pay.
Despite what many think – we receive our funding only from property taxes from residents, billing of non-residents, through the Illinois Tollway billing contract and a relatively small amount comes from the state in the form of Foreign Fire Tax (projected at $44,400 for this fiscal year).
We receive no funds from the county’s public safety tax, from sales tax in any of the areas we serve, etc.
And in no way, shape or form is our referendum a veiled attempt to provide a fire district tax funded ambulance service.
Our ambulance service will continue to remain provided by a private contractor at no cost to taxpayers unless utilized, which will result in direct billing for their services.
Voting yes on our referendum would allow us to continue to be able to insure we have top notch equipment and vehicles, pay our volunteers as true paid on call firefighters and save for future large capital expenses.

RS Source sent us the following:
“Scene in Loves Park. I know there is 2 total fire trucks and the fire chief is around the corner of the building. Approx. 1:30pm. No signs of smoke, but several fire fighters were racing to the roof of the building. Not sure of the address but it is right next to the subway and grease monkey on E Riverside. Its possibly at the vet office. Im hearing what sounds like a type of electric saw. I do see dust clouds as if they are sawing something. The building possibly caught on fire.”
