RCMP are warning motorists to slow down and use caution as weather gets worse this evening. Up to 10cm of snow, mixed with ice pellets and rain is in store for the South Shore. Meanwhile, the Hebbs Cross Fire Department responded to a call just after 4 o'clock this afternoon for a single vehicle rollover just before exit 14 on the way to Liverpool. Former Deputy Chief Gary Oakes was on scene and tells us two people, the driver and passenger managed to escape with only minor injuries after their RAV 4 flipped into a ditch. They were taken to South Shore Regional Hospital as a precaution to get checked out. We're seeing some snow, mixed with ice pellets....rain is in store for later Thursday night. To prevent incidents from occurring RCMP are reminding road users of the following:
• Call 511 to listen for advisories or road condition updates;
• Please avoid any unnecessary travel;
• Ensure an emergency kit is prepared and in your vehicle;
• Ensure cell phones are charged and ready for use in the event of an emergency;
• Adjust your driving according to the conditions;
• Allow extra time to arrive at your destination;
• Maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and those in front of you; and
• Ensure other motorists can see you. Turn on your headlights.
