After multiple vehicles, including several semis and at least one tractor trailer on fire, closed northbound lanes of Highway 11 north of Girvin early yesterday morning, the highway reopened over 12 hours later. The RCMP sent notice that the highway reopened by 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

The first collision involved a semi and a second, stopped semi. A third semi then collided with them which led to the semis catching fire. The drivers reported minor injuries. Around the same time, but about five kilometres south of the initial crash, a semi collided with a second, parked semi that was stopped on the road. One driver wasn’t injured, but the other was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

In the meantime, a Davidson Volunteer Fire Department truck rolled over attending to one of the collisions. Two fire fighters were in the truck, one was uninjured and the other was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. There were reports of several other motor vehicle collisions in the early morning hours Thursday according to Craik R-C-M-P.
