Flash freeze produces slippery road conditions

The sudden drop in temperatures in the region have produced very slippery road conditions.

There has been at least one accident near Dryden.

A transport rolled over near Two Mile Corner.

The Oxdrift Volunteer Fire Department says motorists should avoid that area as crews deal with a fuel leak.

Despite road conditions, Highway 17 is still listed as open, with snow-covered and partially snow-covered sections.

Motorists are asked to drive with care.
