Slippery conditions result in numerous weekend accidents

There wasn't a lot of snow over the weekend, but what did fall seemed to cause a lot of problems for local motorists.

The OPP say over the past couple of days they were called out to 19 motor vehicle collisions in the Kenora area.

While no serious injuries were reported, police says the collisions did cause significant damage to the vehicles involved.

The OPP says most of the accidents were the result of drivers not
adapting to the road conditions and not staying alert.
