Wet surface warning after three crashes on South Yorkshire motorways
Thankfully, no-one was injured in any of the collisions, but police urged motorists to be particularly careful on the roads when several days of sunshine are followed by heavy rainfall.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Long periods of dry weather followed by a downpour can make roads extremely slippery and greatly increase your stopping distances.”
