Two Windows Broken

Slip Slidin' on Howe

At least five accidents in 90 minutes were reported on Howe Road Sunday during a brief but intense snowstorm.

One car spun out shortly before noon, taking out a mailbox. A van slid off the road and into a ditch about 15 minutes later, which caused another minor accident involving a car and a rescue squad.

Shortly before 1 p.m., police came across another car that had slid off the road and was being pulled out by a tow truck. 

And about 1:10 p.m., two vehicles were involved in a very minor collision at the Pomeroy Boulevard intersection.
