Lincolnshire Police have warned road users to remain vigilant following a road traffic accident on King Street, Baston, this morning, 18 January 2023.

The team shared on their social media: "We are urging motorists to please take care and drive to the conditions of the road."

The incident involved two vehicles which collided on the A1084.

While many on Facebook thanked the Police for their work, another commented that "if it takes the police to have to post on Facebook for you to realise its icy, you need your licence taking off you!"

The Met Office have warned drives to take care when driving in icy conditions, which are forecast throughout the week: "When snow or icy roads are forecast you should adjust your driving to suit the conditions and take extra care.

"If you must drive check the Highway Code for advice on driving in ice and snowy weather. A summary of the advice is: Take care around gritters. Don't be tempted to overtake. Slow down - it can take 10 times longer to stop in snowy or icy conditions, so allow extra room.

"Use the highest gear possible to avoid wheel spin. Manoeuvre gently and avoid harsh braking and acceleration. If you start to skid, gently ease off the accelerator and avoid braking. If braking is necessary, pump the brakes don't slam them on."

You can contact Lincolnshire Police or find your nearest police station online.

The Baston incident has been cleared.
