Drivers in the UK are urged to exercise caution due to hazardous road conditions following a serious crash involving a Land Rover
Merseyside: A warning has been issued after several cars crashed on UK roads due to dangerous conditions from bad weather. It’s been a bit of a mess out there.
The UK is under a yellow weather warning for snow and ice, causing traffic chaos, school closures, and train delays. It’s not a great time to be on the road.
In Merseyside, a Land Rover flipped onto its side after hitting a railing and colliding with another car. Thankfully, no serious injuries were reported, but the silver car took quite a beating.
Merseyside Police shared some tips for drivers to stay safe. They’re really stressing the need for extra caution while driving in these icy conditions.
They suggest accelerating gently, using engine braking instead of slamming on the brakes, and keeping a safe distance from the car in front. It’s all about being smart out there.
Also, make sure to clear snow and ice off your vehicle before hitting the road. And don’t forget to dress warmly and allow extra time for your journey.
Meanwhile, Merseyrail has activated its cold weather plan, running trains without passengers to ensure everything is safe. There are delays on major roads like the M62 and M6 due to the weather.
The Met Office has warned of “hazardous” ice as temperatures drop, potentially leading to the coldest January night in 15 years. So, it’s best to stay alert.
The yellow warning is in effect until Thursday morning, and it’s likely that untreated surfaces will be icy. Just be careful out there, folks!
