Highway 2 reopens after serious crash near Didsbury

Traffic on the QEII was restored Monday evening following a multi-hour closure caused by the collision.

Why it matters

The QEII is a major travel corridor between Calgary and Edmonton, so closures affect commuters and commercial traffic across central Alberta.

Didsbury RCMP have cleared the scene of a serious motor vehicle collision on Highway 2 at Township Road 320, according to an update issued at 5:46 p.m. on July 27.

The crash had prompted a closure of the Queen Elizabeth II Highway in the area while emergency crews responded and investigated the scene.

Following the cleanup, Highway 2 has resumed normal traffic flow. No further details about injuries, vehicles involved, or the cause of the collision were provided in the update.
