The first snowfall of 2015 is creating some travel troubles around Berks County.
The driver of a truck delivering uniforms was unable to stop at the slippery intersection of Maidencreek and Calcium roads in Maidencreek Township late Tuesday morning, according to police on the scene.
The truck slid off the road, sheering off a utility pole and knocking over a pair of road signs.
No one was injured, police said.
The intersection was closed until the scene could be cleared.
Another accident Tuesday morning split a utility pole in the area Rehrersburg Road and Little Swatara Road in Tulpehocken Township.
There were no reports of serious injuries in that accident or in any other weather-related crashes around Berks County.
With temperatures failing to climb out of the 20s on Tuesday, officials advise motorists to use caution when traveling as many roads will likely remain slick throughout the day.
The overnight low temperature is forecast to be 15 degrees Tuesday and only 3 degrees Wednesday. The wind chill will be below zero.
