Drivers reminded to reduce speed on slippery roads

Saturday 23 April 2016

Islanders have reminded to drive carefully on wet roads after a car was flipped onto its side in an accident yesterday.

Firefighters attended the incident at 10.33 am yesterday on Mont Les Vaux – the driver of the vehicle had managed to get out of the car by the time that they got there, and was being treated by paramedics.

Jersey Fire and Rescue Service Crew Commander Craig Channing said: “We would like to remind drivers that roads may become very slippery after a period of dry weather.

“Please allow more time to get to your destination and drive to the prevailing conditions.”

Six firefighters from white watch attended the incident, and managed to get the car flipped back on to its wheels, and cleaned up fluid that had leaked from the engine to make sure that the road was safe.
