With inclement weather expected to hit the eastern Ontario region this weekend, the Ontario Provincial Police are reminding the public to drive safely on area highways.
“A leading cause of collisions in winter is poor driving, not poor driving conditions,” an OPP news release stated.
The OPP adds that motorists should check the weather before hitting the road, slow down when driving and carry a survival kit in their car.
