Winter weather has arrived in Nanaimo, ICBC claims spike
NANAIMO — Monday brought snow to Nanaimo, and Tuesday started out with an icy commute.
City crews were putting down salt overnight in an effort to make the morning drive more manageable. Nanaimo roads manager David Myles said the central and southern parts of the city were the most affected.
From a Nanaimo RCMP perspective, Const. Gary O’Brien says their officers did have a few incidents to deal with.
“Throughout the last 24-hours we’ve had 10 reported motor vehicle incidents,” said O’Brien. “Fortunately there were no serious injuries. The most typical was someone who was going too fast for road conditions, was unable to stop and proceeded through an intersection either striking another car or a solid object.”
