Provincial Police were called to a five-vehicle chain-reaction collision near Communication Road at quarter to four yesterday afternoon.

An eastbound transport stopped in the construction zone and was rear-ended by another tractor trailer. A third truck collided with the back of the second, with two more vehicles following suit.

All five vehicles suffered what police describe as moderate damage and had to be towed from the scene.

The highway was closed in both directions for several hours as crews cleared the road.
