With the arrival of snow in Libby last week, Police Chief Cody Ercanbrack is working to spread a message of being prepared for winter.
“As the first snow falls this year, I would like to take a moment to remind our community of winter hazards,” Ercanbrack said. “While driving it’s important that we give ourselves plenty of time to get where we are going. This allows us sufficient time to scrape the snow and ice off our vehicles, so we don’t have anything blocking our view of the road. This will also allow us to drive a little bit slower which then makes it easier for us to make turns on slick roads.”
Ercanbrack also reminded motorists of defensive driving and having extra clothing in a vehicle in case of an emergency.
