Several minor crashes near the Cobequid Pass have RCMP reminding motorists to take extra precaution if travelling on Hwy 104.
After 2 p.m. Sunday RCMP responded to about six motor vehicle collisions in the area near the Cobequid Pass.
RCMP Sgt. Alain LeBlanc said despite the crashes on the 104, it's been a relatively quiet weekend in terms of road crashes.
"Overall it's less than normal," he said. "It's been my experience that [during a storm] people are going to stay home and [if they have to go out they'll] drive with caution."
Police said that roads near the Cobequid Pass are very slippery, and recommend that motorists adjust their driving according to the conditions, maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and those in front, and turn on their headlights to make their vehicles more visible to other drivers.
