Area roads are messy with reports of multiple vehicles sliding of roads and minor crashes and slowdowns across the municipality.
OPP Sergeant Dave Rektor says officers responded to dozens of collisions around the region.
“Highway 401, numerous collisions. A lot of snow. According to Constable Jim Root it’s the worst snow they’ve had in Essex this year,” says Rektor. “The roads are treacherous. Please use caution.”
There were no serious injuries this morning when a section of the 401 was closed near Ridgetown because of collision involving multiple tractor trailers.
In nearby Essex a pair of busses were involved in crashes.
A bus full of high school students slid off a roadway this morning and in the second, a vehicle hit a bus that only had the driver in it. Nobody was hurt in either crash.
