Are you going on the road this morning? “Beware,” warns KNMI. It can be insidiously slippery due to snowfall. Code Geel in Drenthe, Groningen and Friesland currently applies.
RTV Drenthe weatherman Hans Nienhuis already issued the warning yesterday. According to him, rain would turn into snow at night. And that happened throughout the province. In different places there are scattering teams and snow blades on the road to try to get the roads snow -free. According to the KNMI there is a snow layer of 3 to 5 centimeters in Drenthe.
In the early morning, accidents were reported on the A37 near Hoogeveen and on the new Crimea near Coevorden. Whether people have been injured is not yet known at the moment. There were also a car and a truck from the road on the A28 between Beilen and Assen. As far as we know, nobody was injured.
The weather warning code yellow applies in Drenthe until 10 am this morning.
