Thankfully only minor injuries were reported in last night's crash on the QE2 that involved 4 vehicles and 5 horses.

It was close to 8 pm that Lacombe Volunteer Fire Crews were called out to the northbound lanes just south of Lacombe near Fraser Way RV.
 
Deputy Fire Chief Drayton Bussiere confirms the horses were running on the highway and were hit by the vehicles involved, with all of the horses involved killed.
 
Traffic was impacted for about 2 hours.

RCMP from Blackfalds and Ponoka responded, along with Alberta Sheriffs.

There's no word on where the horses escaped from.
