The drive down to Winnipeg can be an unsafe one during winter.
The RCMP say several collisions occurred on Hwy 6 over the weekend. Motorists making the drive down this long weekend are being reminded to have working lights, and drive to the road conditions.
Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht from the University of Manitoba has a number of tips as well. He recommends driving with a sleeping bag, food, candle, and a flashlight in case something happens.
Dr. Giesbrecht is an expert on winter survival, and is commonly referred to as Professor Popsicle. You can hear more of his winter tips during Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10 this afternoon.
