Just before 5 p.m. on Friday, there were reports that the Southbound lanes of the QEII, which had previously been closed for the better part of Friday due to a multi-vehicle collision East of Olds, had re-opened.
Before noon on Friday, RCMP said that traffic has begun slowly moving in the Northbound lanes of the QEII, between Olds and Didsbury, after a multitude of multi-vehicle collisions had occurred.
Earlier in the morning, Mounties informed the public that motorists who had been involved in numerous motor vehicle collisions on the QEII will have a very difficult time finding a tow truck.
"There is now a towing advisory. Tow trucks cannot come to the area so please do not call them," Mounties stated.
