During the winter months of December, January, and February there are over 24% weather-related crashes reported on icy roads and over 15% is reported to happen during snowfall or sleet. Wind can cause blowing snow and can cause low visibility with traffic moving slower which can increase the possibility of accidents to happen. More than 116,800 adolescents and adults combined are reported to be killed in crashes on snowy or icy roads. In 2019, where light snow killed two and caused a 50-car pileup is an example of how dangerous icy roads can be. During winter months it is a good idea to drive safely and slowly while staying cautious. Make sure your gas tank is full, and all lights work on your car when you’re driving in the winter. During the winter you should keep supplies in your car during the winter months like first aid kit, batteries, radio, flashlights, blankets, jumper cables, and emergency flares.

Drive safely in winter weather
