Last Friday's massive blizzard and road closures have Manitoba Public Insurers buried in backlogged claims.

According to MPI, Over 500 auto insurance claims have been filed between Friday the 17th, and Monday of this week.

The Crown Corporation said that it has not fully analyzed the data, so it cannot attribute all of these collisions to winter driving conditions.

However, it can be said that the blizzard conditions were a major contributing factor in many of the crashes.

More claims are expected to roll in over the next several weeks.
