Flag persons were diverting traffic in both directions.

Coronation RCMP said a motorist disobeyed the direction of a flag person at the scene and attempted to proceed through the collision zone.

RCMP are reminding the public that failing to obey a sign or person directing traffic due to an accident or emergency is an offence and carries a fine of $155. This is in accordance with Section 60 of the Use of Highway and Rule of Road Regulation.
