A portion of the Trans-Canada highway east of St. Francis Xavier is blocked due to a jack-knifed semi.
Manitoba Highways said eastbound traffic is being stopped as crews work to move the truck.
Sean Roe was driving in the area and described extremely icy conditions in a call to 680 CJOB.
“There was a car that slammed into the back of a semi. There were two cars that were in the ditch and it looks like there was another that spun out of control and hit another car,” Roe said.
