Slow down on slick roads, first responders warn

[guest]

Drive with care out there, police and paramedics warned Thursday morning.

Police issued a warning about black ice after responding to a string of “spin-outs” particularly on Hwy. 174.

READ: News flash – it’s really cold out there

Paramedics, meanwhile, reported by the middle of the morning commute that they’d been called to about 10 collisions on “slippery” roads – including three rollovers – although none, fortunately, caused serious injury.

Extremely cold temperatures are making the roads slippery. Give yourself extra stopping distance and be mindful of black ice. #Otttraffic pic.twitter.com/guuqNIprAo
