There are multiple accidents causing delays across Metro Vancouver Thursday morning due to the icy road conditions.

The region received snow on Wednesday night, which tapered off during the late hours but plunging temperatures have left many roads treacherous for the morning commute.

Crews are dealing with incidents in Coquitlam, Burnaby and Surrey, especially along Highway 99, 91 and 10.

Here’s a look at the delays across the region:

#Snow Driving Tips: REMINDER: refill windshield washer fluid, clear snow from the roof, windows, windshield wipers, & front and back lights. Turn on low beams (high beams reflect off the snow). Don't #tailgate: it can take up to 9x longer to stop in snow and ice. #drivesafe pic.twitter.com/Qz9s97U4eK
