Snow caused road chaos, upping claims and recovery calls
The AA says yesterdays snow and blizzards could have caused the busiest day for road accident claims, with more than 500 claims to its call centre by 5.30pm.
Claims were increasing into the evening, the AA said. AA recovery also received 16,000 calls for breakdowns before 3pm.
The busiest day of 2009 had 2 February when the last widespread snow fell. Then, just over 800 claims were taken.
Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, says: "Fortunately, most accidents are at a relatively slow speed so we're not getting reports of injuries.”
