Burning slippery and deteriorating weather
« I can totally say that there is a raging slippery, » says Stefán Már Kristinsson, the fire chief of the fire brigade in the capital area, in a conversation with mbl.is.
He encourages people to be careful because of the slippery, whether in traffic or elsewhere.
However, the fire brigade has had little to do with slippage accidents today.
Two car turnover took place at short intervals in the sixth time today, one in Kollafjörður and the other in Breiðholt. There were no serious accidents on people.
