Jackknifed tractor trailer blocks Westminster Drive

Provincial police say injuries were minor after a tractor trailer jackknifed on Westminster Drive just outside of London.

Emergency crews were called to the stretch of road between Colonel Talbot and Westdel Bourne around 8 a.m. Friday. While the truck was nose down in the grassy ditch, the trailer stretched across both lanes blocking traffic in either direction.

The truck driver suffered minor injuries and no one else was hurt, Middlesex OPP said.

Drivers were asked to avoid the area while crews worked to remove the transport.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
