PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Reports of icy roads are coming in, and it caused a salt truck to crash in Pittsburgh's Carrick neighborhood.

NWS Pittsburgh says it's getting reports of icy conditions across the area, saying black ice is hard to see and makes roads -- especially bridges and overpasses -- slippery.

In Carrick, a salt truck crashed on Edgar Street. It happened around 9:06 when the city salt truck slid on ice and hit a pole. No one was injured.

KDKA's Jessica Guay reports there are some icy spots around there.
