HEREFORD and Worcester Fire Rescue Service is warning people to take extra care on the roads today in the tricky driving conditions, after dealing with crashes overnight.
Last night firefighters were called to crashes including one in Dinmore Hill, near Bromyard, where a vehicle came to a halt on top on another.
HWFireLeominster's firefighters tweeted a picture of the scene, and wrote: "Our second RTC on #Dinmore Hill today.
"Please take care when driving in icy road conditions. Luckily there were no injuries from this collision."
Driving advice issued includes:
• Check the forecast and avoid travelling if bad conditions are predicted.
• Leave more time for your journey and to prepare your vehicle.
• Completely de-ice the windows of your vehicle before driving off.
• Remember that not all roads are salted. Take extra care when driving/riding on unsalted roads and remember that ice can still form on roads that have been treated.
• Mind your speed and drive/ride for the road conditions.
• Increase the distance between your vehicle and the one in front – stopping distances can be 10 times longer in icy conditions.
• Use your lights so that other road users can see you.
