Metal crunching, roads closed – this is what it looked like on the road

Several traffic accidents occurred across Finland on Friday due to poor driving conditions.

On Friday, various regions in Finland experienced multiple traffic accidents attributed to adverse weather conditions, which caused drivers to struggle with safety on the roads. The reports highlighted incidents that resulted in metal crunching sounds indicative of collisions, painting a worrying picture of the overall safety of vehicular movement during this period.

Meteorologist insights were shared, pointing out the challenges posed by the weather known as 'skull weather', which significantly decreases visibility and increases the risks of accidents. Alongside this, social media posts went viral showing videos from concerned drivers capturing the hazardous driving environment, which alarmed many in the community.

Authorities are urging caution and advising drivers to stay updated on weather conditions before heading out. The emphasis on road safety has become critical as adverse weather seems to persist and could lead to further incidents if precautions are not taken during the driving period, especially in regions severely affected by the poor conditions.
