An earlier collision in Airdrie at the intersection of Veterans Boulevard and 8 Street has been cleared. However, motorists are reminded that winter driving conditions remain in effect.
According to Alberta Mounties, police were kept busy yesterday responding to collisions across the province.
"Police report that on the QE II between Edmonton and Calgary, RCMP responded to 52 collisions three resulting in injuries. Additional serious collisions have been reported throughout the province," police stated.
With the snow continuing to fall, RCMP expects poor driving conditions to continue, adding that if you do not have to travel; stay home.
"If you must travel, RCMP want to advise motorists to use extreme caution, slow down and maintain an increased distance between yourself and other drivers."
Alberta RCMP remind travelers to drive with caution on the QEII as snowfall continues. Slippery conditions have resulted in several collisions since yesterday. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. (9:30am) #ABRoads #ABStorm #yegtraffic #yyctraffic
