Traffic flow is slowly returning to normal after a collision near Goldstream Provincial Park.
West Shore RCMP said they responded to a report of a collision between a dump truck and a pickup truck with a trailer, Friday (June 26), shortly after 12 p.m.
Police said the collision occurred in the southbound lanes in the 3500 block of the Trans-Canada Highway, near Goldstream Park.
No injuries were reported, they confirmed in an emailed statement.
“There was a large amount of oil spilt as a result of the collision in the southbound lanes,” said police. “Crews were called in to clean it up, which meant traffic was alternating through the northbound lane and was slow moving. All lanes have since been opened.”
Drive BC cameras at the park’s Finlayson Arm Road entrance showed northbound traffic backed up from around 1 p.m. to after 2 p.m.
Drive BC warned that the vehicle incident had reduced traffic to an alternating single lane between Finlayson Arm and Okotoks roads.
Shortly before 2:30 p.m., Drive BC said the road had been cleared.
BC Emergency Health Services confirmed they did not respond to this incident.
