Police on Monday said investigators determined a northbound semi loaded with logs crossed the centre line and collided with a southbound semi that then struck an SUV. The truck loaded with logs then crashed into another semi-truck, with the load of logs spilling out over the highway. A southbound pickup truck driver could not avoid the logs and struck some before crashing into the ditch. Two other drivers trying to avoid the crash scene also ended up in the ditch.
Numerous logging trucks and semis remained parked on the side of the road, with logs littering the highway, and traffic could not pass through, police said. Drivers were asked to avoid the area between Township Road 690 and Township Road 700, roughly 20 minutes south of Grovedale, which is about 479 km northwest of Edmonton.Share this article in your social network
