The occupants of both vehicles were not injured, according to Lake Country Fire Chief Steve Windsor.
Windsor said speed is likely a factor in the crash.
“People just need to drive to the road conditions,” Windsor said. “It’s slippery. You can’t do 120 kilometres per hour on the road. You need to slow down.”
