Tow ban on I-41 and State 441 issued for Outagamie County
The Outagamie County Sheriff's Office issued a tow ban late Saturday morning, Feb. 15, due to current road conditions. The tow ban is in effect for Interstate 41 and State 441 in Outagamie County, according to a Saturday morning Facebook post from the Outagamie County Communications Center. The post urged those on the road to "please drive safely, and call us if you need help." A tow ban is enacted when law enforcement determines that conditions are too dangerous to perform roadside services. When conditions improve, agencies will lift the ban and towing operations can resume. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
