Traffic was moving slowly past the crash scene.
Lambton OPP say a tractor trailer travelling westbound came into collision with another transport lined up waiting to pay toll at the Blue Water Bridge. The initial collision caused a chain reaction crash involving a total of three tractor trailers. Luckily no one was hurt. A 38-year-old man from Ajax, Ontario is charged with careless driving.
Police say three of four westbound lanes will remain closed for a significant period because of vehicle damage and trailer loads.
Motorists are advised to slow down and proceed cautiously through the area.
