Emergency crews responded to numerous calls for collisions and vehicles stuck in the ditch on Highway 401 on Saturday, as lake effect snow squalls created hazardous road conditions across eastern Ontario.
A snow squall warning remained in effect for an area stretching from Prescott and Brockville to Kingston, Napanee and Picton on Saturday night."An intense snow squall off Lake Ontario has now drifted north of the region. A cold front will push through the region tonight which will push the squall back south into the region. By early Sunday morning the snow squall is expected to shift south of the area as the front clears the region," Environment Canada said in a statement.
On Saturday evening, Ontario Provincial Police in Leeds County said officers continued to respond to numerous calls for collisions and vehicles stuck in the ditch on Hwy. 401 in the Brockville and Prescott area. officers continuing to respond to numerous calls for collisions and vehicles stuck in the ditch on Highway 401 EB / WB due to snow conditions
