Police in Kimberley are asking people not to travel to the the Ram Creek/Lussier Hot Spring area after multiple incidents on the road.
The detachment and Kimberley Search and Rescue have been called out twice the past five days to find overdue travellers.
In both incidents, Kimberley SAR recovered the travellers as their vehicles slid into the ditch and they were unable to get out.
The area does not have cell reception which results in concerned family members contacting police.
The detachment said these calls take considerable amounts of resources, including helicopter attendance and multiple SAR teams.
That’s why the detachment is urging people to avoid the area until road conditions improve.
