The lights on his vehicle were not on, however, and the truck swerved into the oncoming traffic lane, so Foley initiated a traffic stop. Dodd stopped west of Main Street, according to arrest reports.

In hardest hit areas, Oncor reported Friday morning, workers maneuver treacherous roads, use chainsaws and heavy equipment to remove ice-covered trees and debris on powerlines, and work in sub-freezing temperatures to rebuild infrastructure and make repairs.
