DALLAS — As Tina Pacheco, her husband and two friends traveled into Texas on their way to Mexico, the ice-laden Interstate 35 soon became so treacherous that traffic came to a standstill, and they ended up spending the night in their pickup truck.
They parked on a service road and kept the truck running for heat. “We couldn’t go anywhere,” Pacheco, 38, said Saturday as she and her traveling party slowly made their way south again. “It’s a good thing we had gas.”
