Snowy and slippery conditions are leading to less-than-ideal conditions on Calgary roads Friday morning.

Calgary police say from midnight to 12 p.m. Friday, 102 collisions were reported; 10 of which resulted in injuries.

Callers to the 660 NewsRadio traffic centre reported especially dangerous conditions on Deerfoot Trail throughout the morning.

The city’s traffic department is reporting several crashes between Airport Trail and Beddington Trail NE, and cameras showed multiple vehicles in the ditch.

Further south on Deerfoot near 17 Avenue SE also saw many drivers losing control during the morning rush.
