Drivers hoping to travel east on Highway 1 were delayed following a serious crash near the town of Wolseley.

According to Saskatchewan’s Highway Hotline, all eastbound lanes were closed on the Trans-Canada following a motor vehicle collision near the intersection of Highway 617 – around five kilometres east of Wolseley.

A detour was in place alongside westbound traffic, the hotline said in an update at 1:40 Monday afternoon.

According to the Highway Hotline, all closures at the scene have ended. 

A driver who witnessed the scene told CTV News that the crash involved several semis.

One semi reportedly rolled over, while another was gutted by flames. Police and other first responders were observed at the scene.

CTV News has reached out to Saskatchewan RCMP for more information.

Wolseley is located approximately 95 kilometres east of Regina.
