Emergency crews are on scene of a collision involving around seven semis witnesses say.

Witnesses came across the scene on Highway 6 south of Eriksdale around 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

They say that highways were extremely icy, and the collision occurred on an s-bend in the road.

Several areas of Manitoba including the Parkland and Interlake experienced freezing rain on Tuesday evening and early Wednesday. That prompted the RCMP to close several highways in areas near the Saskatchewan border.

There is no word on injuries at this time.

More to come.
