An Edmonton Police Service traffic officer was involved in a multi-vehicle collision that slowed Whitemud Drive to one lane Thursday Afternoon.
“An EPS traffic officer was conducting a traffic stop in the area when his service vehicle was struck from behind by an SUV. The police service vehicle then reportedly struck the sedan involved in the traffic stop,” stated Carolin Maran, communications advisor with EPS in a news release.
