Police in the Southern District are urging drivers to stay off the roads tonight if they can possibly do so.
?
There is a significant amount of black ice in several parts of the District, including Central Otago, Southland and Waitaki.
?
Police have received reports of several crashes this afternoon where cars have slid off the road and rolled. ?Fortunately none of the crashes have resulted in serious injury.
?
If travel is absolutely necessary tonight, please be extremely mindful of the treacherous conditions.?Take your time, be patient with other drivers, and keep to an appropriate speed for the conditions. ?
?
And if you are caught behind a vehicle that is travelling slowly, please don’t take unnecessary risks to pass them – it’s better to be delayed by 10 minutes than to not get to your destination at all.
