Motorists were urged to find an alternative route yesterday afternoon (September 23) as emergency crews attended to a collision on Highway 1A.

Cochrane RCMP responded to a single vehicle collision near Ghost Lake Village which completely closed the highway in both directions for a couple of hours as RCMP investigated the scene.

STARS air ambulance was dispatched and transported one adult male to the hospital while the other passengers were assessed on the scene. 

The road closure was in place from just before 2 pm to just before 5 and we'll update the story as details are released.
