LANCASHIRE Constabulary is urging the public to take extra care during the snowy and icy weather conditions.
Motorists are being advised to plan extra time for their journeys, to take extra care on the roads and to allow for the current conditions.
Pedestrians should also take extra care, wear clothing that makes them visible to motorists and, where the weather is particularly bad, only venture out when necessary.
Chief Inspector Richard Blackburn said: “If people are making journeys in their cars we would remind them to drive within the limitations of the conditions and make sure that they are prepared by carrying items such as a shovel, a bottle of water, a blanket, a charged mobile phone and a torch in.”
