After freezing rain just before Christmas took its toll on vehicles, repair shops in Eugene, OR, are seeing a lot more action than usual and some drivers are going to have to sit tight for a while.
Dustin Caldwell, president and owner of Old Dominion Collision Repair Center, said, "Our phones have definitely been ringing. We are a busy shop already and so as I'm talking to a friend they're like 'oh boy it'd been nice if this ice storm had happened sooner.'"
Many drivers were involved in collisions as a result of the storm. During the night of the ice storm, more than 75 crashes were reported in the Eugene-Springfield area.
