Drivers are being warned of a tractor trailer crash on Highway 6 near Freelton. Ontario Provincial Police said a truck, carrying steel, hit a construction barrier in the northbound lanes around 3:30 a.m. on Monday. The vehicle then crossed the highway, striking the southbound barrier. No one was hurt. Police said diesel fuel spilled across the road and into a nearby ditch. The Ministry of Environment were called in for an environmental assessment. Highway 6, near Concession Road 12 East, was expected to remain closed until at least 7 p.m. OPP said the delay was “due to digging out the diesel spill and removal and replacement of the damaged concrete barriers.” Charges are pending.
