EDMONTON - Investigators are trying to determine the cause of a CFB Edmonton vehicle fire on a highway north of the city Wednesday morning.
The accident happened around 11 a.m. on Highway 28 near the intersection of Highway 37, six kilometres from the base, said Morinville RCMP.
Earlier information from the RCMP said explosives inside the armoured vehicle had detonated, but CFB Edmonton spokesperson Fraser Logan said there were no explosives on board at the time.
“The driver’s front tire popped, which accounts for the loud noise,” said Logan.
Police said the armoured vehicle was “fully engulfed” when they arrived, but no injuries were reported. Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire.
