RCMP say people have died in a collision that has closed the Alaska Highway Wednesday afternoon, north of Teslin, Yukon.

Another email from police a few minutes later said, "There are fatalities."
Police said the highway was closed in both directions, and that traffic is "backed up quite a ways."
There are no other details about the collision.
