Scary crash on Hwy 22 puts two in hospital
Mounties in Drayton Valley are urging motorists to be extra vigilant when driving in adverse conditions after a scary crash this weekend.
It was just after 9 a.m. on Saturday when emergency crews responded to a head-on collision between a pick-up truck and a flat deck semi truck. The crash took place on Highway 22 at the North Saskatchewan Bridge.
Police say the pick-up was travelling eastbound when it hit black ice on the bridge before sliding into a guard rail, then into the oncoming lane into the path of a westbound semi.
All of the occupants were able to vacate their vehicles before the pick-up truck burst into flames.
