The number of people who lost their lives due to the snowstorm that brought life to a standstill in the USA and Canada rose to 50.
Due to numerous accidents and the cold weather, 46 died in the USA, which has been struggling with the biggest snowstorm of the last 40 years. According to the latest data, 18 died in Buffalo, New York. Reporting that the snow depth in the region has reached about 1.2 meters, Mayor Mark Poloncarz tweeted “This is not the Christmas any of us hoped for nor expected, but try to have as merry a Christmas as possible today. Remember the holiday spirit and why we’re a community of good neighbors”. Authorities described the blizzards and the cold as a once-in-a-generation kind of natural event.
Fiftytwo injured and 4 died in a traffic accident in Canada’s British Columbia on Saturday that broke out as an intercity bus near the city of Merritt rolled over, which was associated with excessive icing on the roads.
