UPDATE: RCMP report that as of 11:00 p.m. Wednesday, the wreckage “has been cleared from highway 49, and the roadway has been re-opened to traffic in both directions.”
Vehicles are currently not able to go east or west on Highway 49 as a semi tanker has rolled over.
RCMP and emergency crews are on the scene approximately two kilometres west of Spirit River. People are advised to take a different route.
The driver of the semi has been taken to hospital for minor injuries and a fire that was started by the semi has been put out. The rollover did cause an oil leak, but according to a media release, there is no risk to the public.
