BANGOR, Maine (AP) _ Officials in Bangor say winter weather is wreaking havoc for the roads, causing a four-vehicle crash in one instance over the weekend.

Bangor officials say the crash took place Sunday afternoon, with two of the cars crashing into separate buildings. WABI-TV reports one person involved in the crash was taken to the hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.

Bangor Fire Department Capt. George Hodge says his department is urging people to take it slow on the roads, as crews have been responding to multiple crashes.

He says drivers should be aware of conditions when driving and “plan on stopping well ahead of when you need to do it.”
