UPDATE (12:00 p.m.): Highway 5 south of Clearwater has partially reopened to single-lane-alternating traffic.
Drivers are told to expect minor delays. Another update is due at 1:00 p.m.
Speaking to CFJC Today, Clearwater RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Grant Simpson says a semi-truck jackknifed on the highway due to extremely icy and slippery conditions. From there, an Argo truck and a garbage bin truck were unable to stop and crashed into the semi. A second semi-truck then crashed into the garbage bin truck.
