A test for drivers on the highway: the speed is only 40 km/h, the tractors lie down in ditches

Around 8 p.m. near Kryžkalnis, traffic began to jam.

Although the road surface looked dry, it was actually deceiving. It seems that the drivers of the tractors did not appreciate the danger: even four of them ended up in the ditch.

Other drivers continued their journey after turning on emergency signals. But the speed, according to 15min readers, the stretch was only about 40 km/h.

The Directorate of Motor Roads of Lithuania warned on Wednesday that as the snowfall continues in the country, the surfaces of the main national roads in the greater part of Lithuania are wet, in many places, especially in the north and west, rutted and covered with fallen, compacted snow. In the districts of Utena, Molėtai and Anykščiai, bare ice has formed on the roads in places.

According to the hydrometeorological service, it will snow a little at night in some places, and it will snow in some places in the northern regions. In many areas, bare ground will form in places.
