Police are asking drivers to slow down and to be aware that winter conditions are present at this time, which include icy and slippery sections on roadways.
RPS said from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., they responded to 17 accidents around the city.
“When it is icy, it takes about ten times the stopping distance, so people aren’t always ready for that,” Les Parker with RPS said. “We just ask motorists to take that extra time and slow down ahead of time. It’s better to get where you’re going without an accident.”
