Provincial Offence Notice issued after semis collide north of Emerson

There were no injuries reported after a collision Wednesday afternoon involving two semis at the corner of southbound Highway 75 and Provincial Road 243, just north of the U.S. border crossing, in the Municipality of Emerson-Franklin.

According to RCMP, officers from the Emerson detachment arrived at the scene around 4:30pm.

It's believed a semi truck travelling west, which was merging at the intersection, collided with a semi truck travelling south. The southbound lanes of Highway 75 were closed for about two hours yesterday while the investigation and clean up took place.

The driver of the westbound semi truck was served with a Provincial Offence Notice under the Highway Traffic Act.
