Parkland RCMP said officers were called to a crash involving a dump truck and another vehicle on Highway 16 near Range Road 20 at 9:26 a.m.
“There are no injuries reported, however, RCMP advise that one lane of traffic in both directions will be closed while emergency responders remove the vehicles from the area,” police said in a news release issued at 10:51 a.m.
Less than an hour later, police said emergency crews had cleared the scene.
Police did not confirm if the foggy conditions played a role in the collision.
