Hours earlier, we had posted dynamic signage within the vicinity of the accident site, warning drivers of icy conditions and to drive with caution. Video footage from the morning of February 11 confirmed that precipitation began mere minutes before the accident unfolded. In addition, our technicians patrolling I-35W did not observe any previous precipitation at the accident location within 45 minutes of the first indication of rain in the incident area. We pretreated all sections of I-35W-as well as the rest of the 40 miles of highway corridors we operate and maintain in North Texas. NTE35W technicians drove through the area of the accident within 45 minutes before the first indication of rain in the incident areas. Our crews patrolled in trucks with salt to de-ice identified areas and to test the highway around the clock.

Specifically, and as noted in the NTSB report, we pretreated the corridor well within the prescribed pretreatment window and during the storm, and our crews monitored the entire length of the I-35W corridor, including elevated areas to identify any potential ice formation. In particular, we want to reaffirm that we fully activated our winter storm program leading up to and throughout the winter storm event, and that we coordinate with TxDOT on best practices for snow and ice control in North Texas. Given the extraordinary circumstances, we are confident in the actions taken by the company. We have reviewed the NTSB's Final Accident Report on the Februaccident on I-35W, and we are disappointed and strongly disagree with certain of its conclusions.

NTEMP, the agency in charge of the roadway sent CBS News Texas the following statement: The report found there was a 'failure of North Tarrant Express Mobility Partners Segments 3 to effectively monitor and address roadway conditions.' The NTSB released its report Thursday after two years of investigation into the pileup that happened February 11, 2021.
