Brooks RCMP warning drivers of poor road conditions following several collisions

Brooks RCMP is warning residents to drive safely following several vehicle collisions in the area.

According to a police news release, the crashes happened between Brooks and Bassano.

"Icy patches are leading to poor driving conditions and are causing multiple vehicles to drive off the road," wrote RCMP.

If any Strathmore drivers are planning to head that way police said they should avoid the area and check Alberta 511 for updated highway conditions.

511 also says as of this morning Highway 1 from Strathmore to Chestermere is dry.
