A crash on the QE2 south of Airdrie during yesterday's (May 19) rush hour got the holiday weekend off to a slow start for many drivers.

Emergency crews were called to the incident on northbound QE2 just north of the Cross Iron Mills mall.  Reports say the crash involved five vehicles but that no one was seriously injured.

Holiday traffic was snarled for several hours, backing things up to well past Stoney Trail.

Police remind everyone travelling this holiday weekend to be patient behind the wheel and get to your destination safely.
