Highway 39 reopened after crash near Rouleau

A long stretch of Highway 39 that was closed Wednesday due to a collision near the community of Rouleau has reopened.

The RCMP said just before 3 p.m. that the road had reopened. The Mounties didn’t provide any other information, including if there were injuries.

A photograph from the scene taken by Global News showed multiple semis were involved.

According to the Highway Hotline, the closure extended from the community of Pasqua south to the intersection with Highway 6 just north of Corinne.

All lanes were closed as police investigated the collision.

The Highway Hotline was also reporting reduced visibility in the area due to fog, and said the road was wet and could be icy.

At 10 a.m., Environment Canada issued a fog advisory for a strip across southern Saskatchewan, including areas around Regina, Estevan, Weyburn, Fort Qu’Appelle, Moose Jaw, Swift Current, Kindersley and Rosetown.
