Collision closes part of Highway 6

A crash involving a tanker truck and transport truck caused a closure along a portion of Highway 6 South.

A crash between two commercial trucks completely closed a portion of Highway 6 South near Morriston.

In a social media post at 9:46 a.m. Tuesday, the Ontario Provincial Police said they had been called to the highway near Mountsberg Road. Southbound traffic was being diverted onto Campbellville Road while northbound traffic was sent toward Concession 10 West.

Pictures from the crash show a white tanker truck had sustained heavy front-end damage.

The second truck had been hauling a load of steel plates. Those plates were transferred to another flat bed trailer so the damaged trailer could be removed from the roadway.

No injuries were reported and the driver of the white tanker was charged with careless driving.

The closure lasted for several hours, but in a post at 2:15 p.m., the OPP said the damaged trailer had successfully been loaded onto a float trailer and the road would reopen shortly.
