Wintery Weather Causes Traffic Crashes

The first snowfall of the season brought with it a number of crashes last night in the city. Snow mixed with rain, reducing visibility, and five separate crashes sent at least three people to hospital.

Police say a 23 year old man may have a broken arm and leg after being hit by a car on Millidge Avenue while crossing the street last night around 8:40pm. Not long after, a three vehicle crash sent one man to hospital, after he apparently blacked out and side swiped one car, then hit head-on with another on Millidge Avenue. Also, one woman was taken to the Regional to be checked out after a crash on Lancaster Street. Rothesay Regional Police says the wet-snowy weather has made the roads slippery in the Valley this morning.
