South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) are urging people to take extra care this weekend due to the yellow snow warning issued by Met Office.
These warnings are in place from 12.00 Saturday 4 January until 09.00 Monday 6 January and indicate the chance of snow, ice and cold temperatures across the region. This is likely to create difficult driving conditions which increases the number of road traffic collisions and emergency call outs to the ambulance service.
Kirsten Willis-Drewett, assistant director of operations for the Thames Valley at SCAS advises people to ‘think carefully about braking distances and keeping further away from the car in front of you’. She also warned ‘against rushing around in the cold weather and asked people to take extra care when travelling’.
