At a little before 5:40 p.m. on Dec. 20, 2021, Blackfalds RCMP advised they were on scene at a serious motor collision.

The collision occurred on Highway 2 southbound, south of Highway 42.

Highway 2 became impassable in the collision when a semi-truck and trailer rolled over, blocking traffic.

Southbound traffic was diverted away from the scene onto Highway 42 for several hours.

RCMP media relations officer CPL. Gina Slaney advised that the truck driver suffered serious injuries, but no further details were available at that time.

The over-turned semi-truck was cleared and traffic resumed on the highway at 9:30 p.m., the same evening.
