Feb 19, 2019 | 6:50 AM

GRASSLAND- RCMP say the debris has been cleared and traffic is moving again on a busy northern Alberta highway after a semi-tanker truck carrying molten sulphur rolled, resulting in a cargo leak.

The single-vehicle crash happened around midnight on Highway 63, east of the community of Grassland.

Mounties say no one was hurt when the truck ended up in a ditch.

There has been no word yet on how much sulphur leaked.

Grassland is about 180 kilometres north of Edmonton.
