RCMP warn public to avoid Hwy 4 south of Battleford

RCMP in the Battlefords closed several roads Thursday evening to deal with an incident.

Highway 4 is closed between Battleford and 10 kilometres south of Battlefords.

In a media release, RCMP said the area is restricted until they have the situation under control.

One person who was driving south of Battleford at around 8:40 p.m. witnessed police pursuing a vehicle.

She said she was driving up the hill and saw a van coming towards them with no lights, just sparks from the rims. She pulled over as is passed by at about 20 km/h.

“The windows were missing and the door was missing,” she said. “I was shocked.”

Once the area is safe, police said they will notify the public.
