Hooksett, NH — November 28 — On Friday, the Hooksett Fire Rescue Department responded to many auto accidents due to winter-related problems on nearby roads. Black ice swiftly formed during early traffic hours, according to crews, taking drivers by surprise and causing them to lose control in many places. The problem was made worse by heavy holiday traffic, which slowed response times and raised the possibility of follow-up accidents. Firefighters advised drivers to slow down, give themselves more time to stop, and keep an eye out for any changes in the weather. Roadway safety is a major concern for both crews and drivers during these events because emergency responders must operate in active traffic. As cold weather becomes more common in the area, the department will keep an eye on the situation and advise locals to exercise caution.
