Wind warning in parts of Alberta as powerful gusts topple some trucks in south
CLARESHOLM, Alta. — High winds are creating traffic havoc on some highways in southern Alberta with reports of big semi trucks being toppled.
Semi rollovers were reported Monday in the Claresholm and Nobleford areas south of Calgary and south of Airdrie.
“Semi truck drivers and smaller truck drivers are particularly asked to consider delaying their trips awaiting for more favourable wind conditions especially if they are hauling empty trailers,” RCMP said in a news release.
“Their decisions may put themselves and other users of the highway at risk.”
