The aftermath of the weekend winter storm has resulted in a number of motor vehicle collisions in Guelph.

They say two of them involved snowplows that were in the process of clearing the streets Saturday morning.

One happened just after 8 a.m. at Edinburgh Road South and Municipal Street, where a snowplow struck and sheared off a hydro pole.

Investigators say that affected traffic for several hours as crews replaced the pole.

The other took place 30 minutes later on Victoria Road North and Grange Road, where a snowplow struck a gas meter at a commercial plaza.
