DriveBC is reporting winter driving conditions along Highways 97 and 20 and all side roads in the Cariboo Chilcotin.
There is black ice on the road from 20 kilometres north of Lac La Hache to Williams Lake and 22 kilometres north of Williams Lake.
Central Cariboo Search and Rescue responded to a collision involving two pickup trucks near Wildwood at 10:30 a.m. Friday morning, but there were no serious injuries, CCSAR Chief Rick White said.
“The roads are slippery everywhere,” White told the Tribune, adding his crews attended four or five motor vehicle incidents this week, which was “pretty good considering the weather.
“It’s been pretty quiet,” he added.
Anyone heading out of town for the Family Day long weekend is encouraged to check road conditions ahead of time as heavy snowfall warnings continue to be issues in various parts of the province.
Make sure you're keeping yours and other families safe this long weekend. Lots of storm and heavy snowfall warnings issued in the #Cariboo, northern #BC, Kootenays and Columbia regions. Plan ahead, drive to the conditions and arrive safely. #familyday https://t.co/NpjIhY5ESM
