A dusting of snow left highways around southern Manitoba slippery Friday morning.

RCMP said a pickup truck pulled out onto Gunn Road at about 7:10 a.m. and was rear-ended by a car. There were no injuries and the scene was quickly cleared.

There have also been reports of a crash on Hwy. 12 north of Steinbach.
