RCMP vehicle, 2 sheriff patrol SUVs involved in highway crash near Leduc

Three people were transported to hospital Friday morning after a highway collision south of Leduc involving a Lexus SUV, two Alberta Sheriffs highway patrol vehicles and an RCMP cruiser.

Leduc RCMP are on scene of the multi-vehicle collision on Highway 2 south of Highway 2A, police said in a news release issued at 9:30 a.m.

The three law enforcement vehicles were parked on the side of the southbound lanes of Highway 2 doing roadside speed enforcement when the collision occurred, said police spokesperson Const. Bridget Morla.

All of the officers were inside their vehicles at the time of the collision, Morla said.

The three people who were travelling in the Lexus were sent to hospital with minor injuries, police said.

Morla said none of the law enforcement officers on scene were sent to hospital. An RCMP news release sent earlier in the morning incorrectly stated that all occupants involved in the crash had been taken to hospital.

Traffic in the area was reduced to one lane for several hours while investigators and an RCMP collision analyst were on scene.
