A serious single-vehicle collision had closed part of Highway 108 on Tuesday afternoon north of Serpent River and south of Elliot Lake.

The roadway fully reopened at about 6 p.m., according to authorities. However, Ontario Provincial Police have not released whether charges are pending, nor any details on the cause of the crash or if there were any injuries.

OPP announced the crash shortly after 12:30 p.m., with police reopening one lane of the highway shortly before 3:30 p.m.

“East Algoma OPP and emergency crews are controlling traffic and are asking the public to follow instructions on scene,” police had said on social media.

“Further updates to come.”

Initially, OPP had advised drivers to avoid the area or find alternative routes as no detour was available.
