County of Vermilion Protective Services respond to motor vehicle collision on Highway 16

Plow Trucks and Sanders are working diligently this afternoon and into the evening hours to keep the roads safe, please drive with caution as some parts of the highway are slick and coated with black ice.

For example, earlier in the afternoon, Vermilion Fire & Rescue Society was dispatched for a solo vehicle accident in which a car slid off the road and ended up down the ditch and into the field. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

Tow trucks have been delayed in getting to scenes due to the high volume of calls, and first responders have been steady attending vehicles that have left the roadway.

Drive carefully and be prepared for winter emergencies!
