Vehicle Incident 86 km north of Rock Creek. Expect 30 minute delays while crews work on moving debris from a flipped chip truck.


A semi truck pulling two trailers of wood chips tipped over this morning, causing delays on Highway 33 south of the Big White turnoff.

The incident happened five kilometres south of the McCulloch Road turnoff, and traffic is down to single lane alternating at this point until the mess can be cleaned up.
