Between 12:00 p.m. on February 5 and 12:00 p.m. on February 6, Saskatchewan RCMP received reports of 28 motor vehicle collisions. During that timeframe, they also received 14 calls in relation to other road-related incidents, including vehicles stuck on roadways or in the ditch.
Some areas in central and southern Saskatchewan are still experiencing poor road conditions.
Saskatchewan RCMP continue to encourage travellers to check road conditions in their area before travelling. If travel is necessary, take things slow on snowy and icy roads.
Saskatchewan RCMP also remind the public to avoid calling 911 or local RCMP detachments for updates on road conditions. Calling 911 must be reserved for emergencies and crimes in progress, and using it in non-emergent situations could prevent someone with a life-threatening emergency from getting help.
