Last Thursday (Jan. 5), Huronia West OPP responded to 20 motor vehicle collisions.
Many vehicles were in ditches and some were located on closed roads.
Huronia West OPP reminds all motorists that at this time of year weather conditions can change quickly. Police say there are several simple things drivers can do to increase safety, namely slow down and change driving habits to suit the conditions and turn on headlights, to make sure other drivers can see you. Carry a working cell phone and charger, but don’t text and drive.
Before heading out, make sure the vehicle is in good working condition, the gas tank is full, and there is ample windshield washer fluid and install snow tires. Police also remind people not to drive on closed roads.
