That semi truck was then struck by a second semi truck and a car.

Investigators have determined that the snowy weather played a significant role in the incident.

“Fortunately, there were no injuries in this incident, but the highway was closed for some time,” Cpl. Brett Urano, the RCMP spokesperson said in a statement.

“The highway is closed in both directions due to the vehicle incident and avalanche control.”

RCMP remind drivers to be mindful of road conditions before heading out and to drive to the conditions.
