There have been some questions about what will happen to people (and cars) stranded along Highway 63 who have run out of gas. We now have a bit of an answer.The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo says police will be patrolling the road with gas cans and are encouraging people to stay put unless in imminent danger.
