Only code yellow in Limburg for slippery conditions | Domestic

De Bilt – The yellow code still applies this Friday morning for the province of Limburg. The KNMI warns of slippery conditions there. In the rest of the country the calm situation is over.

Dozens of collisions due to slippery conditions in Achterhoek

A combination of light rain and icy road surfaces also led to dozens of collisions in Achterhoek, Gelderland province, on Thursday evening, police said. “Yes, definitely dozens. Especially collisions with property damage. But there are also more than ten injured,” a spokesperson said.

Last Thursday, police reported that someone had died in Zelhem following a collision between two vehicles. Another driver was injured.

Due to the numerous accidents that occurred in the region, the intervention of many personnel was necessary: ​​police, ambulances and firefighters. “All our units have been deployed in collisions with injuries,” the spokesperson said. According to him, fewer reports of collisions are arriving today. He suspects that people notice how slippery the roads are.

Drizzle

Unfortunately, the drizzle is not visible on radar images, because it is very small droplets that fall from very low clouds. If it rains on your car window along the way, be aware that the roads can be very slippery and drive carefully. It can be very slippery, especially where there is no road salt. The sleet will probably concentrate in the night and morning of tomorrow in the south-east of the country.
