CTV的,这个里面讲的就是我说的严重事故,当时还只是堵了十几辆车, 看起来像是北行的车失控,越线撞上了南行的车。想想,早上出家门还好好的,这突然一下子就碰成这样,这让家人太难以接受了。所以,这种坏天气, 开车一定要注意力集中。要提醒的一点是, 不要嫌前车开的慢,就试图超车,这种坏天气下,超车极易失控。实际上,慢也慢不了多少的。

Ottawa police have issued a city-wide black ice warning after more than 150 collisions were reported on area roads.
Police say the recent cold snap caused black ice to form on many city streets and drivers must use extra caution to avoid losing control of their vehicles.
Prince of Wales Drive between Woodroffe Avenue and Merivale Road remained closed at midday after a two-vehicle collision sent both drivers to hospital with serious injuries.
Since Wednesday night, Ontario provincial police and Ottawa police say they responded to 167 collisions.
Police say 50 crashes were reported on Highway 416 and Highway 417 Thursday morning. None of the collisions involved serious injuries.
The situation for commuters wasn't as bad in Gatineau, however, where police responded to 20 crashes.
Police say contrary to popular belief, black ice does not always appear black, or look like a wet surface.
Police also warn overpasses, bridges and hills should always be approached with extra caution. If drivers accelerate quickly in any of those areas, police say they are more likely to lose control of their vehicles.
