Bad weather takes toll on roads

Most problems happened in the south of the county on Friday night when a number of hailstorms left stretches of the M6 icy despite repeated grittings.

There was a 10 vehicle shunt near Tebay and a similar incident near Killington services on Saturday morning.

There were also dozens of less serious accidents. Police say people were driving too fast in poor visibility and on a clearly icy road.

The Kirkstone Pass, north of Ambleside, was closed overnight due to heavy snow.
