RCMP have closed Highway 103 between Exit 8 and 9 (Chester/Chester Basin) as emergency crews respond to a collision involving a tractor-trailer.

Cpl. Chris Marshall estimated the highway would be closed for approximately one hour, making the approximate reopening time 11:45 a.m.

Marshall also said the collision also involved a passenger vehicle, but any injuries sustained are believed to be minor at this time.

Commuters are being advised to use Highway 3 as an alternate route while Highway 103 remains closed.
