series of washouts on northern Saskatchewan highways has left some drivers stranded on the road.
“Nine of them have gotten to somewhere with resources, like a mine site a restaurant,” said NRT safety manager Wendy Featherstone. “Two of them are stuck between washouts with no resources.”“ described it as ‘catastrophic,’ ” said Featherstone. “He said he got across and then it just looked like a waterfall behind him as the road fell away.”
And Featherstone says problems on the road, whether washouts, storms or fires, often bring out the best in northern drivers.
