Accident closed Highway 7

Highway 7 was closed for several hours early yesterday near the Welsford bypass after an accident involving a tractor trailer.

Nobody was seriously injured but there was significant damage when the truck ended up on top of the median. Crews came in to cleanup various liquis that spilled onto the highway.
