Thousands of North Texans are planning to hit the road this weekend to visit friends and family for Christmas, but the cold weather is causing car problems.
Drivers with the Tarrant County Sheriff's Courtesy Patrol have been extra busy Friday, helping those who get stranded on the side of the road. Courtesy patrol crews monitor the highways to keep people safe and to keep traffic moving. They change tires, give jump starts, and move debris off the roadways.
The courtesy patrol knows how critical it is to respond quickly right now to drivers stranded in the frigid cold.
