BOSTON (CBS) – Several crashes were reported around the state as a result of a thin layer of snow creating slick driving conditions.

Only 1-3 inches of snow fell around much of Massachusetts on Sunday morning. But driving was still tricky in some areas.

There might be only a coating of snow BUT it's enough to make it very slippery. Use caution as DXFD is out on Route 3 now at this MVA and transporting a patient to the hospital. #DXFD #masnow pic.twitter.com/DLsxKopZ0u
