On April 6th, 2014 just after midnight, the RCMP responded to a report of a single vehicle collision on the QEII Highway in the south bound lanes near the 67th Street overpass.

As a result of the collision, south bound travel was restricted to one lane for approximately one hour while emergency crews cleared debris. No other vehicles were involved and the driver did not sustain any injuries.
The identity of the driver cannot be released at this time as an Information has yet to be sworn. He is scheduled to appear in court later this month.
