Swindon Slush Hour 

Police urge motorists to take extreme care as snow melts

 

It won't be here for long - but while the latest snow flurry is melting Swindon Police are urging motorists to take care.

 

A spate of accidents and near-misses where drivers have been taken unawares in the slippery conditions mean that roads - including major routes - are still treacherous in places.

"It's easy to get complacent," said a spokesman, "especially as the roads appear to be clear.

 

"We urge all drivers to slow down and give yourself more braking distance."
