The long weekend was barely underway and already a serious crash was been reported on a local highway.

Just after 7am Friday morning, White Butte RCMP responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision where a south-bound SUV entered a body of water off of grid road north of Edenwold.

An adult female passenger was airlifted to hospital by Stars Ambulance with serious injuries.

The driver and four other passengers, two adults and 3 children were taken to hospital by ambulance with minor injuries.

There is no word on the cause at this time.
