Quesnel, B.C.-  Traffic  is  down to  a crawl  on Highway  97 at  Cinema,  following two crashes  near Ahbau Creek.

The first collision involved  a pick up and car,  and occurred  just south of Ahbau Creek.    The other involves  two semi tractor trailers  about 200 meters  away from the site of the first crash.

In both cases,  injuries are said to be minor.

“People need to  adjust their driving to  current road conditions” says North District RCMP Media Liaison Corporal Madonna Saunderson.   She says  unless people absolutely have to be on the roads today,  they might be better off  postponing that trip.

Drivers report to 250News  that while much of highway 97  is in  good condition,  there is  a lot of  ice  and  black ice in shaded  areas.
