Slick conditions caused an SUV to roll over on US-2.

BARK RIVER -- The frost covered roads were the cause of a roll-over accident just outside Bark River Wednesday morning causing one person to be taken to the hospital.

Officials say the SUV was heading east on US-2 and hit a patch of frost and lost control, causing it to roll and end up on its top in the ditch.

There were two people in the vehicle.  The passenger was taken to OSF Hospital for her injuries, however, officials say they don't look to be life threatening.

Luckily, the driver was uninjured.

This is the second accident Wednesday morning in Delta County caused by the slick roads.

Authorities want to remind motorists to be extra cautious now that temperatures remain colder longer.
