Icy road conditions may have led to multiple crashes Thursday morning on Highway 11 between Girvin and Davidson.

“Road conditions were extremely icy early this morning but have now improved significantly,” Craik RCMP Sgt. Robb Karaim said in a release.

The first crash involving three semis happened around 3:15 a.m.

Saskatchewan RCMP said a semi collided with a stopped semi before a third semi collided with them. The semis then caught fire.
