UPDATE: Rough Day On The Roads

Update 5:00pm: OPP have this message, stay off the highways unless you have to travel.

Multiple accidents reported Wednesday including a single pick-up truck rolling over between Highway 588 and Pineview Road.

A tractor trailer unit hit the ditch in Shuniah just west of the east entrance of Lakeshore Drive.

Earlier in the day guard rails were damaged but no injuries after another tractor trailer unit jackknifed and ended up in the ditch west of the city.

The vehicle was blocking Highway 11/17 which forced crews to re-direct eastbound traffic down Twin City and Highway 130 and westbound travelers down Fraser Road.

There were also reports of transports having hard time getting up hill at Sistonens Corners.

In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
