Slippery roads and blizzard conditions as well as speed may have caused the driver of a 2006 GMC pick up tuck to rear end a chip truck near Burns Lake last week.

On Jan. 14, at 9:30 a.m. Burns Lake RCMP responded to a two vehicle accident on Hwy. 16 near the entrance to the Hampton's Babine Forest Products mill.

The driver of a west bound one ton, welding and service truck had driven into the rear of an empty Lomak semi trailer wood chip truck as the semi was about to turn off the highway into the mill.
