‘Extremely high winds’ wreaked havoc along a portion of Highway 53 east of Bashaw Saturday evening.
RCMP say the gusts caused calcium chloride, which is naturally occurring along the highway, to be kicked up which caused reduced visibility in the area.
While visibility was less than ideal, a four-vehicle collision occurred. Only minor injuries were sustained.
Earlier on, RCMP had believed a semi carrying chemical had been involved in a single-vehicle rollover.
