Hey there, time traveller!

Traffic has been snarled on the south Perimeter Highway since about 8 a.m. due to a crash involving two trucks at the intersection of the Perimeter and Brady Road.
RCMP said a half-ton pickup truck carrying liquid herbicide was heading eastbound on the Perimeter when it collided with a westbound gravel truck turning left onto Brady Road with a load of dirt.
The male drivers of both vehicles sustained injuries that are not life-threatening. Both remained on scene to help with the cleanup. The driver of the gravel truck suffered some facial injuries from glass.
The contents of the pickup truck were scattered across the road. The contents of the dump truck did not spill; however it may be necessary to dump all or part of the load in order to tow the truck away.
“The closure is to clean what the pickup truck was carrying. Everything spilled,” said RCMP spokesman Sgt. Paul Manaigre.
Witnesses said traffic was backed up for nearly two kilometres in both directions on the Perimeter throughout the morning.
The RCMP said at about 11 a.m. one lane westbound reopened, but both eastbound lanes are expected to remain closed into the afternoon.
