The ice was buzzing with excitement as the Corr Grain Community Rocks Curling Tour made its way through West Central Saskatchewan, bringing Olympic hopefuls and a passion for curling to youth in Unity, Kindersley, and Denzil.

A video posted online Wednesday morning captured a dangerous near-miss between a semi-truck and a snow plow on a highway just south of Kindersley, bringing attention to the vital importance of exercising patience on Saskatchewan’s winter roads.

The footage shows the semi attempting to pass another semi in low visibility, narrowly avoiding a collision with a snow plow. This incident underscores the risks that impatient driving poses not only to motorists but also to the operators working tirelessly to keep highways safe.
