Wet roads and right-of-way issues led to three separate accidents as the rain fell throughout the day and evening yesterday. Highway Patrol Officer Justin Barnthouse says the first accident happened in Alta Sierra on Gary Way.

Barnthouse stresses the importance of keeping speed down when driving in wet conditions and to be mindful of right-of-way rules, especially in bad weather. More rain is expected over the weekend.
