CHAPEL HILL – If you were forced to abandon a vehicle in Chapel Hill town limits during Wednesday’s snow storm and it was not impeding traffic or plow crews, it is likely still there, according to a news release from the Town at noon on Thursday.

Vehicles that are still in the roadway and are a danger to crews will be towed, but Town Officials warn the roads are still hazardous.

Most vehicles that were parked off the roadside remain where they were left. The vehicles that have been towed within the Chapel Hill town limit were moved for the safety of the traveling public and to ensure that plow and salt/sand trucks can clear roads.

Vehicles Towed within the Town of Chapel Hill (and locations found):

– 2000 Pontiac VSM-5609 Silver Raleigh Rd (54W) at Friday Center Dr.
– Pontiac BCD-4990 Green Fordham Blvd (15-501) near Elliott Road

Snow Storm Response Continues

Town of Chapel Hill offices and non-essential services will remain closed today (Thursday, Feb. 13) following the snow storm.
