SLIPPERY roads and poor visibility Saturday resulted in a multi-vehicle crash on the Perimeter Highway south of Winnipeg.

RCMP said eight vehicles were involved in a series of accidents that closed westbound lanes of the Perimeter Highway from Highway 75 to Provincial Road 200 for several hours.

One person was taken to hospital but there were no reports of any serious injuries, Sgt. Line Karpish said.
