Highway 97 North of Mcleese Lake was temporarily closed last night (Tuesday).
Sargeant Brad Mckinnon said police responded after being advised of a single motor vehicle incident and upon arrival determined that a fuel truck had slid off the road due to icy conditions.
“Due to the nature of this incident the Ministry of Environment was engaged and steps taken to secure the area in question,” McKinnon said.
Highway 97 North of Mcleese Lake later re-opened to alternating traffic and police say it’s expected to remain this way for the day while crews work to assess the situation and ensure a proper clean up is completed.
Criminality is not suspected.
