1 person sent to hospital after 2 transport trucks crash on Highway 2
A major crash on the Trans-Canada Highway involving two transport trucks — one loaded with logs — and a third vehicle injured one person Thursday morning and forced traffic to be diverted, police say.
RCMP said a truck belonging to Donnelly Farms Ltd. hit the back of the logging truck on Highway 2 between Fredericton and Woodstock.
One person was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries, police said.
The crash happened in the southbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway, about two kilometres north of the Canterbury and Meductic exit, Const. Nick Hamill said.
Traffic is again using the southbound side of the highway but only one lane is open.
RCMP, fire crews, paramedics and cleanup crews were also sent to the scene, where large amounts of debris needed to be cleared.
Hamill said the cause of the crash is still being investigated.
