(HALIBURTON, ON) – On Monday November 11, 2013 officers from the Haliburton Highlands Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were dispatched to numerous motor vehicle collisions in Haliburton County. Officers were busy in the afternoon and evening hours responding to ten (10) weather related collisions that occurred on snow and ice covered roadways. Fortunately none of the collisions resulted in serious injuries. During the inclement weather that is now upon us, the OPP is reminding motorists to drive with caution. The majority of collisions were caused by motorists not slowing down and driving according to the weather and road conditions regardless of the posted speed limit. Please allow yourself the extra time to reach your destination, pack an emergency survival kit and advise others of your travel itinerary.
