BROOKS, AB – Brooks RCMP are at the scene of a multi-vehicle collision reportedly involving 50-70 vehicles on the Trans-Canada Highway.

The collision is just east of Brooks and is blocking the westbound lanes.

RCMP say traffic is not flowing westbound on Highway 1 at Range Road 142 and traffic flow is not expected to resume westbound for several hours.

Emergency crews are re-routing traffic at Highway 1A.

Travel on area highways is not recommended at this time due to blowing snow, icy roads and poor visibility.
