Icy roads cause collisions
Early Thursday morning, Dec.11, Clearwater RCMP attended two vehicle collisions on Highway 5. The two crashes occurred near each other between Vavenby and Avola. Both were due to speed and icy road conditions.
The first involved a single vehicle from Saskatchewan that went off the road to the left and down a 20-foot embankment. The vehicle was severely damaged but the driver had minor injuries.
The second collision involves two loaded semi-tractor trailers. A southbound tractor trailer went out of control, hit both ditches, crossed the center-line and collided with a northbound tractor trailer.
The crash caused the highway to be closed to single lane traffic for the day.
The driver who lost control was taken to the local hospital and cleared a short time later.
