No serious injuries were reported in a five-vehicle collision on northbound State Route 347.
Department of Public Safety spokesman Quentin Mehr said five people reported very minor injuries and no one was transported to a hospital. Vehicles, however, were transported from the scene.
The incident occurred at 10:28 a.m. at milepost 185 where blowing dust obscured visibility. Traffic was slowed as state troopers and other law enforcement responded to the scene, but the road was not closed.
Blowing dust continues to be an issue between the gravel pit road and Riggs Road, and motorists are urged to drive with caution.
