Meanwhile the B5023 Wirksworth Road heading out of Duffield has been closed due to black ice after a 4x4 left the road.
At just before 9am the Jeep Cherokee crashed into a ditch causing a minor injury to the female drivers leg.
In the centre of Derby a Toyota Aigo skidded on black ice and crashed into the barrier on the bridge leading from Allestree Lane.
And in the west of the county a BMW crashed into a tree on Hinkin Hill between the village and the A38.
There has also been a crash on the A50 between Sudbury and Foston involving two cars and is causing tail-backs of up to four miles.

“For a start schools runs can reduce daily hazards parking near schools. In an incident today I encountered an idiot who did not even indicate to pull over,Just suddenly stopped as if I knew she was dropping teenagers off,`YES`teenagers,no wonder some wont get off their backsides and look for work at 16+ some parents have made them lazy.”

“"Ice causes chaos across Derbyshire"
The ice didn't do anything. Ice is an inanimate object, just frozen water
It was people driving inappropriately for the icy conditions caused the chaos”
