Semi-trailers make their way east on the Trans-Canada Highway amid strong wind and blowing snow on a cold Friday afternoon. The Trans-Canada Highway was closed from Headingley west to Sidney on Friday afternoon due to the blowing snow and low visibility. The closures came after a number of collisions, including two multi-vehicle collisions west of Portage, near Oakville, that occurred at about 11:20 a.m. RCMP said at least five vehicles were involved in one of those collisions, including an RCMP vehicle. While some people were taken to hospital, no serious injuries are believed to have occurred, police said. (Tim Smith/The Brandon Sun)
