RI State Police: 35 Crashes, No Serious Harm

SCITUATE, RI—Troopers advise people to stay off the roads. Between 6 and 9 p.m., state police dealt with almost three dozen accidents.

"No serious injuries have been reported, but multiple vehicles were involved in many of these crashes," said state police, who say the snow caused the problems.

"Heavy snow has created slippery roads throughout the region, resulting in numerous crashes throughout the state," Colonel Ann C. Assumpico said. "We encourage people to stay off the roads if possible. If you do need to drive, please use extreme caution, especially in areas where the roads haven't been plowed or treated."
