Despite improvements in conditions, MDOT warns that hazardous driving conditions persist in the affected coastal counties. The agency advises safe driving practices, including slowing down, being cautious near shaded areas, and avoiding distractions. For updates, visit GoMDOT.com/winter or follow MDOT on social media.

SUMMARY: Prince Harry and his legal team reached a last-minute settlement with Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (NGN) over claims of unlawful activities, including phone hacking and surveillance. The settlement includes a full apology to Harry, though it ends his attempt to expose the publisher’s wrongdoings in court.
