Motorists will need to find a detour this morning as RCMP clean up a collision.

Cochrane RCMP is currently on scene at the motor vehicle collision that occurred on Highway 8, near Range Road 40, east of Highway 22.

The collision is blocking both east and westbound lanes at this time and RCMP are anticipating traffic in the area will be affected for the next 2 to 3 hours while the collision is investigated and the vehicles are removed. 

RCMP is asking motorists to please find an alternate route and to avoid the area while they continue their investigation. We will update the story when we receive word that both lanes are operable.
