Highway #1 is back open but travel is still not recommended between Belle Plaine and Regina.
RCMP officers have left the scene and are no longer redirecting traffic. Traffic is slowly moving and the roadway has been plowed.
At one point there was a five kilometre line of vehicles in both eastbound lanes at a stand still. In total multiple police units and detachments responded including White Butte RCMP, Moose Jaw RCMP, Moose Jaw and White Butte Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan.
A number of vehicles are still in the ditch and/or on the shoulder of Highway #1 and will be removed in the coming days by their owners. Officers have marked several of them with police tape to show they have been checked for any vehicle occupants.
Check the Highway Hotline frequently for changing weather conditions.
