Snowy roads lead to two accidents
March 15, 2018
Petrolia/North Enniskillen Firefighters were out in the blinding snow after an accident on Churchill Line.
Tuesday, a 2006 Ford had been traveling eastbound on Churchill Line when it lost control on the snow covered roadway, left the roadway entering a farm field and rolled several times. Both the 25 year old male driver and the passenger were able to free themselves from the vehicle suffering minor injuries.
Then Wednesday, an SUV rolled on Discovery Line.
Lambton OPP are investigating both accidents but say poor road conditions were partially to blame for the accidents.
