A collision between and semi-trailer and a train has made Highway 575 impassable. 

Beiseker RCMP are currently on the scene of a collision between a semi-trailer and a train that has resulted in the closure of Highway 575 

The collision took place around 11:00 am this morning (March 21st) at a railway crossing on Highway 575 near Range Road road 243. The semi-trailer was loaded with the grain when it struck the train causing a derailment and blocking the highway.

The driver of the semi was treated on the scene for minor injuries and no one else was hurt in the crash. RCMP believe heavy fog was a factor in the collision. 

Traffic is expected to be diverted for several hours.
