    UPDATE: Clarenville RCMP advises that the Trans-Canada Highway has reopened to traffic in both directions.

    EARLIER STORY: RCMP is responding to a crash involving a tractor trailer on the Trans-Canada Highway near Port Blandford. Both eastbound lanes and at least one westbound lane are currently blocked.

Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey says on Wednesday, traffic was stopped in both directions after a two vehicle crash west of the weigh scales near Grand Falls-Windsor. On Friday, the eastbound lane of  TCH near Brigus Junction was closed due to a crash involving a tractor trailer. O’Donaghey says there were no injuries. All drivers are also reminded that the Move Over Law requires you to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles.
