RCMP are thanking the public for stopping to help out the occupants at the scene, with one vehicle carrying a small child.

“When significant things happen in a small rural area, it is often the local public who is on scene prior to emergency personnel, which was the case in today’s collision,” says Cst. Kelly Brett.
