BERLIN (AFP) - At least one person was killed and 17 injured as snow falls and icy roads caused numerous traffic accidents across Germany, police said.

A women was killed in the northern state of Lower Saxony Tuesday when the car she was driving slid off a road and crashed into a lake.

Police reported at least 100 road accidents in the southern states of Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg amid transport chaos caused by snow and ice.

Transport Minister Manfred Stolpe urged drivers to be cautious and use public transport when conditions were too bad.
