Day of accidents on Calderdale's icy roads
Two cars slid off an icy road and went down a banking off Oldham Road, Rishworth.
Elland firefighters were called to the accident at 4.30pm yesterday (Tuesday). No-one was injured.
Earlier yesterday the driver of the blue Rover pictured right had a lucky escape when his car struck a telegraph pole and flipped on to its side.
No other vehicles were involved and the driver suffered only minor injuries in the crash in Burnley Road, Cote Hill, Halifax, which happened just before 9am.
Courier reader Oliver Gallanders was quick to take a snap on his mobile phone as he passed the scene.
"He skided on ice and spun 180 degrees into lampost," said Mr Gallanders.
The icy roads caused problems for motorists elsewhere, with a 6-car shunt in Halifax causing delays yesterday morning - click here to read more.
