At 7:36 a.m., a 2006 Honda Civic operated by Magin Reynolds, 22, of Pittsfield, slid out of control and struck a tree on New Ashford Road, in front of Waubeeka Golf Links, according to police. Reynolds was uninjured and the vehicle was towed from the scene.
Less than two hours later, a 2007 Hyundai traveling southbound lost control and slid into the driveway of the Mount Greylock Regional High School, striking a center island. Driven by Yoon Park, 23, of Williamstown, the vehicle had sustained only minor damage and had a flat tire.
A two-car accident near the town line on New Ashford Road left two cars seriously damaged. At 12:45 p.m., Kristin Saharczewski, 23, of Adams lost control of her 2001 Honda Civic and struck a tree after crossing both travel lanes. The Honda, which suffered minor damage, was stuck in the snow.
Fourteen minutes later, at 12:59 p.m., a 2002 Volvo driven by Helen Devine, 75, of Arlington, slid off the road in the same location and struck Saharczewski's vehicle. Devine narrowly missed hitting a Williamstown Police cruiser at the scene.
Both vehicles were towed from the scene after sustaining substantial damage, said police.
According to Williamstown police, all of the crashes were caused by drifting snow. No injuries were reported and no citations were issued due to the conditions of the roadways.
