EDMONTON -RCMP in central Alberta issued a warning to drivers to be careful on Highway 2 Friday morning, as much of the road was in poor condition and even closed in some places because of collisions.
At 2:45 a.m. Blackfalds RCMP said Highway 2 northbound was blocked due to motor vehicle collisions. Traffic driving north on the QEII was being asked to exit at Blackfalds and take Highway 2A to Lacombe.
