A three vehicle collision has forced the closure of a section of Highway 63, north of Fort McMurray.
RCMP say the accident happened just before 6:00pm, Wednesday.
Officers say a pickup truck was heading south on Highway 63 when the driver lost control of the vehicle, crossed the centre line and hit a northbound tanker truck. The pickup was then hit by a bus that was behind the tanker, travelling north as well.
No one suffered major injuries however, the driver, and only occupant of the pickup was taken to hospital with minor injuries. A passenger on the bus was treated for minor injuries on scene. Officers say the driver of the tanker escaped with no serious injuries.
Police and emergency crews are currently on scene investigating. RCMP say Highway 63, approximately 44 kilometres north of Fort McMurray, will be closed to traffic for “an undetermined amount of time” while the investigation continues.
