Emergency services were dispatched to Burnham Street North, just north of Danforth Road at approximately 2:20 p.m. for approximately 10 vehicles involved in collisions.

Numerous drivers told Today’s Northumberland there were white out conditions caused by high winds and drifting snow in the area.

Burnham Street in the area was closed for approximately two hours while crews cleared away the damaged vehicles.
