Highway 11 southbound was closed for over an hour Monday
morning just south of Gravenhurst after the second tractor-trailer mishap in
six days.
A tractor-trailer travelling south on Highway 11 rolled over
onto its side shortly before 12 p.m. and blocked both southbound lanes of the
highway.
Bracebridge OPP rerouted southbound traffic at Muskoka Road
169 but several vehicles were stuck behind the accident and delayed for at
least one hour.
Amidst heavy tow trucks, a loader was brought in to push the
tractor-trailer out of the lanes to let the waiting traffic through. Tow trucks
were expected to remove the tractor-trailer shortly after.
Witnesses at the scene said a female driver of the transport
received minor injuries from the rollover.
