Accident numbers piling up on winter roads
Cranbrook RCMP have responded to eight motor vehicle collisions within the city and on local highways today (Dec. 24).
Road conditions were a contributing factor in all incidents but speed and aggressive driving were factors in some as well. Several people were treated for minor injuries.
“Cranbrook RCMP urge the motoring public to slow down and prepare for hazardous road conditions at all times. Please give yourself more time to reach your destination and ensure your vehicle is equipped for winter driving,” said Cranbrook RCMP ‘A’ Watch Sgt. Barry Graham.
