Winds blow semi off Trans-Canada

Jun 30, 2011 | 7:12 AM

The winds were so bad in southern Saskatchewan on Wednesday night that a semi-truck was blown off the Trans-Canada Highway.

The truck was carrying chemicals, although the RCMP hasn’t said what kind or if there was a spill.

It all happened at about 10:15 p.m., between Belle Plain and Moose Jaw.

Police say the driver is OK.

Highway 1 was closed for several hours but has now been reopened.

RCMP are still investigating the incident.
