PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) - Talking about what to do if you find yourself stranded during a winter storm, Sheriff Rick Woodyard says:
1. Pull-off to the farthest right part of the road
2. Call 9-1-1
3. Remain in your vehicle until help arrives.
Woodyards says “getting out on foot and (trying) to go to the nearest interchange... is not really advisable in that kind of weather.”
