Boyle RCMP Urging Motorists to Use Caution on Area Highways

Wood Buffalo urge motorists to drive according to road conditions, after reporting several collisions in the region the morning of Feb. 12, 2019.

Boyle RCMP are warning motorists to use caution and take extra time to safely arrive at their destinations. Police have been responding to multiple collisions in the last few hours as a result of freezing rain in the area.

Boyle RCMP have responded to four reported collisions in the last two hours as a result of deteriorating weather conditions in the region. All of the collisions have only involved a single vehicle; however, most have resulted in rollovers. There have been no reported injuries as a result of any of these collisions.

The County of Athabasca is currently experiencing freezing rains in the area, which has resulted in less than desirable road conditions on Highways 63, 55, 663 and 831.  Motorists in and passing through the area are encouraged to check on weather conditions and Alberta 511 Road Reports online at 511.alberta.ca or through telephone via 5-1-1 prior to travelling and to allow extra travel time to arrive at your destination safely.
