According to The Sun, the cause of the crash isn't yet known, but visibility was poor in the area and road conditions were especially awful. 

Alberta received a massive dump of snow on Sunday and wind gusts continued into Monday, making it really difficult to see.

While traffic is being redirected, this part of the Trans-Canada Highway is expected to be at a standstill for a while.
