Global News published this video item, entitled “Cars sent “flying off” highway in Alberta as blast of winter weather leaves poor road conditions” – below is their description.
Dozens of vehicles were scattered in the ditch off Highway 2 north of Ponoka, Alta., over the weekend after winter weather and poor road conditions led to multiple pile-ups.
Many drivers were left stranded after several vehicles collided with a semi-truck on the Queen Elizabeth 2 Highway and many others ended up scattered across the northbound lanes.
“He bobbed and weaved through a pretty massive pile up in front of us — semis were jackknifing and cars were bailing off the road,” Sherwood Park Crusaders hockey team head coach said of the bus driver that “kept them safe.”
Only minor injuries have been reported, said police, however, the accounts are not yet final.
The highway has since reopened in both directions and snow plows are out. However, vehicles still litter the ditches and roadsides as crews work to clean up the aftermath of the collisions. RCMP are advising people to not drive on the highway unless it’s absolutely necessary.
