Guelph police say officers investigated 18 collisions over the weekend and are urging drivers to slow down when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
“We are not done with winter weather,” police said in a news release Monday morning. “Remember to take inclement weather and road conditions into consideration when driving.”
Among the crashes, there was a rear end collision Saturday morning at Imperial and Woodlawn roads Saturday morning that saw a 17-year-old charged with careless driving.
A 53-year-old man was also charged with careless driving in a four-car collision later that day at Brant Avenue and Victoria Road.
