    EARLIER STORY: Bay St. George RCMP advises motorists that emergency crews are on scene of a two-vehicle collision - involving a commercial tractor trailer unit and a pickup truck – on the Trans-Canada Highway, about 2 km west of White’s Road (Route 460).

    As a result of a significant amount of diesel fuel and debris on the highway, the TCH is impassable at this time.

    Motorists should expect delays and are asked to drive with extreme caution and obey all directions from first responders at the scene.

    Updates will be provided as they become available.
