Slick Roads Cause Three Accidents, Send One to Hospital

Three accidents caused by two inches of snow and one person was sent to the hospital.

 

A thin and seemingly harmless layer of snow is to blame for three accidents Monday night. Few injuries were reported and one person was sent to the hospital.

  • There was a head-on collision on Route 117 near Lambtown Road. One person was transported by LVES to L+M Hospital to for precautionary reasons.
  • A car slid off the road and onto a stone wall on Spicer Hill Road near Gray Farm, no injuries were reported as a result of that accident.
  • One car rolled over on Route 214 by Lee Brook Drive, no injuries were reported as a result of that accident.

More snow is forecast today followed by a cold snap with temperatures in the single digits. Here’s the week’s forecast from the National Weather Service.
