Drivers still crashing on winter roads

Leelanau County Sheriff's Office policed 5 crashes and a car in the ditch Thursday.  There were no injuries in the accidents.

Two citations were issued to at fault drivers, one for a rear-end crash and the other for failing to yield while leaving a private drive.  A 16 year-old driver started his first winter season by going into a ditch and rolling over on the way home from school.

Motorists are reminded to slow down and understand that it takes extra time and distance to stop on snow covered roads.
