Return of winter road conditions results in hectic day for Alberta RCMP

Nearly 150 motor vehicle collisions occurred yesterday in RCMP jurisdictions in Alberta.

Mounties note that, fortunately, there were no fatalities.

Drivers are reminded to ensure all windows, side mirrors and lights are properly and completely cleared of snow and ice. Making sure your lights are turned on is also recommended so others can see you.

Police say to plan extra time to get to your destination when there is inclement weather. Be prepared for changing road and weather conditions by packing blankets or a winter survival kit, especially if you are planning a trip outside of town.

For the latest road and weather reports listen to local radio or check online with 511 Alberta.
