(BLANDFORD BLENHEIM TOWNSHIP, ON.) – The Oxford County Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) has been called to investigate several collisions this morning on the 401 Highway.
The area of the highway off and on ramps near Drumbo Road had reduced traffic to one lane in both east and west directions due to at least four vehicle collisions.
Also several more collisions were reported on the highway in the Culloden Road area near Ingersoll.
O.P.P. would like to remind motorists of the following:
Ontario winters are challenging for motorists. Safety is a top priority of the OPP. Weather conditions can be unpredictable, placing extra demands on your vehicle and your driving skills. Ensure you are well prepared for winter roads and always adjust your driving speed to existing conditions.
Stay Alert, slow down, and stay in control – the three key elements of safe winter driving. Drive according to highway and weather conditions. Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you to avoid situations where you may have to brake suddenly on a slippery surface.
