Mormon Cricket 'Sludge' Causes Crashes Across Nevada

Authorities in Nevada are warning drivers to be cautious after a mixture of rain and crushed Mormon crickets created a slippery muck on roads, causing several crashes involving semi-trucks on Interstate 80. No serious injuries were reported, but the slick conditions have made roadways extremely hazardous. The crickets, which have been swarming towns and affecting activities, are part of a natural cycle triggered by drought conditions.
