The Ministry of Transportation is reporting that one lane of Highway 17 has reopened near Vermilion Bay after a collision earlier this morning.
The collision was reported to police shortly before 12 p.m., just west of Vermilion Bay, which shut down the TransCanada at the Highway 71 and Highway 105 Junction.
Resident Troy Mineault was one of the many drivers caught in the highway’s lineup. He says the incident involved two tractor-trailer units, with one of the vehicles driving through the trailer of the second. He adds that one of the drivers suffered some injuries and needed medical attention.
Traffic control remains in place and drivers are asked to use extreme caution in the area.
