TREACHEROUS CONDITIONS ON GALWAY ROADS AS DEEP FREEZE TAKES ANOTHER BITE

Date Published: 14-Jan-2010

Gardai are issuing serious warnings to Galway motorists this morning as the Big Freeze takes another bite. Black ice, freezing fog, and road damage has caused treacherous driving conditions with a number of minor accidents already reported across the city and county. All major approach roads to the city are slippery with patches of black ice reported in many areas. The N18, N17, headford road, Oughterard road, and Spiddal road are particularly hazardous, according to a Garda spokesperson.
