MORGANTOWN, W.Va. A wintry system passed through the area, making travel difficult Tuesday morning. MECCA 911 Director Jim Smith said 20 property damage accidents and five motorist assistance calls were dispatched by his staff.
“We did have three of the accidents reported with people that did have some injuries,” Smith said.
Motorists should slow down, increase their following distance, and be prepared to stop. Also, watch the actions of others and drive defensively.
“Make sure the cars are able to stop before that light turns green and you take off,” Smith said. “Make sure the vehicles in the other lane can stop before you get out in that intersection.”
No accident details were available at press time.
