# Traveling Out of State for Winter? Use Caution on Icy Roads | Brooks Law Group

A Plant City man was killed in Central Iowa in an auto accident where the roads were very icy yesterday morning. Frederick Dean Cowder, 45, was a passenger in a vehicle where the driver lost control. Neither of the vehicle occupants were wearing their seatbelts and it was reported by the associated press that the car rolled into a ditch on the side of the highway, and the two occupants were killed.

A lot of Florida residents enjoy the warm weather which is why they choose to live in Florida, however, some people like to travel to the colder parts of the U.S. and go skiing or snowmobiling or just simply visit family during the winter seasons. We urge you to please be aware of driving conditions and climate changes in different parts of the country.
