A stretch of Manitoba highway was closed for a couple of hours Saturday as emergency responders worked to clear the scene of a collision.
Traffic was halted in all directions on Highway 6, from Fairford to Hilbre, from around 4:42 to 7 p.m. A provincial advisory said the closure was the result of a crash.
No other details were included in the release.
Numerous motorists traveling on Highway 6 fell victim to collisions last year, including three who were killed and six others who were injured in a two-week span over the summer.
The highway extends between Thompson and the Perimeter Highway on Winnipeg’s outskirts. Saturday’s collision occurred on a portion of the highway around 210 kilometres north of the capital city.
The Safer Highway 6 Citizens Advisory Group has called for improvements, including more passing lanes, rest stops, and wider shoulders on the northern part of the route.
