City Police Warn Residents To Slow Down Today

A few centimetres of snow leading to traffic chaos in Greater Saint John.

The Highway 1 overpass eastbound at Rothesay Avenue is closed after a tractor-trailer struck a police car and another car hit the tractor-trailer. The person in the car was sent to hospital to be checked out. No one else was hurt.  The truck has jack-knifed across the road.

Emergency personnel have their hands full with multiple accidents on the Mackay Highway from the Dolan Road Circle K to Rothesay Avenue Exit.

Highway 7 between Saint John to Grand Bay-Westfield is extremely icy.
A road warrior tells us it's looks bare but, it's a sheet  of ice.

Police are responding to numerous accidents around the city and on Highway 1 between Saint John and Quispamsis and they are asking everyone to slow down or to stay home until road conditions get better.
