Toronto’s Winter Operations Twitter account also sent out a tweet, letting drivers know that salt trucks would be out all day, to ensure that roads were as easy to navigate as possible.
However, despite their best efforts, drivers still struggled to adjust to the conditions.
Thankfully, Schmidt reported that he was “not aware of any serious injuries as a result of a crash, obviously, there are those that people do and don’t want to talk about because they were going too fast. Road conditions may play a factor, but driving plays the ultimate factor, and driver error would be to blame in nearly all of those 400 crashes.”
