The Heritage Day holiday weekend didn't start quite the way drivers on southbound QE2 hoped it would yesterday (August 4).

A multi vehicle collision yesterday just after 5:00 pm caused traffic to tie up on the highway.  Airdrie RCMP responded to the incident near Highway 566.  

There's no word on how many vehicles were involved in the crash or if anyone was injured.

The RCMP reported that the incident had been cleared and traffic was slowly returning to normal just after 7:00 pm.
