Blackfalds RCMP remind motorists to slow down on icy roads
RCMP and Alberta Transportation are warning motorists to avoid any travel on the QEII between Red Deer and Ponoka.
Mounties say a semi tractor trailer unit jackknifed north of Highway 12 this afternoon with all northbound traffic being detoured through Lacombe and onto Highway 2A.
In addition, police say there are at least 10 vehicles which have gone into the ditch due to the icy road conditions.
Alberta Transportation reports they have several sanding trucks working in the area between Red Deer and Ponoka in an effort to improve the driving conditions.
