A 3 vehicle crash on the QE2 near Lacombe last night led to traffic delays for about 3 hours.

A pick-up truck collided with a transport truck in the northbound lanes just north of the Highway 12 overpass around 6:45.

The pick-up then proceeded across the median and into a livestock trailer full of pigs in the southbound lanes.

EMS transported one patient with injuries to Red Deer from the pick-up truck.

Lacombe Fire Department assisted with traffic control until about 9:45 as it took some time to transfer the pigs to a new trailer and clear the scene.

RCMP Highway 2 Integrated Traffic Services Ponoka continues to investigate.
