Wintry blast creates tough driving conditions in Niagara

Friday’s blast of winter created tough driving conditions in the Niagara region.

No injuries were reported but a hazardous materials team was called to clean up a fuel spill on the Toronto-bound QEW, near Jordan Rd.

Reports from the scene suggest around 80 litres of fuel spilled onto the road.

The driver reported extremely slippery conditions.

This was one of at least five tractor-trailer incidents in the region overnight.

Snow past Hamilton to Niagara.
