The first heavy snowfall of the season has already caused some issues on the roads within the city.

A little after 10:00 a.m., Estevan Police Service responded to a vehicle that crashed into a tree on King Street. Eyewitnesses said that the pickup truck skidded onto the slippery road, crossed passed the opposite lane, and hit the tree. 

EMS was called to the scene to assess the driver, who was later taken to the hospital. At this time, there's no word as to what the condition of the driver is or if they suffered any injuries. The scene was cleared off within the hour. 

Environment Canada is calling for more snow to fall in the southeast in the next 24 hours. Local blowing snow is also expected thanks to the up to 80-kilometre winds expected in the area. Visibility within the city and on the highways will be questionable.
