Highway 9 in New Tecumseth reopened Wednesday morning after a tractor-trailer carrying groceries ended up in a ditch, prompting a lengthy recovery operation.
Ontario Provincial Police said the incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. The circumstances that caused the truck to leave the roadway remain unclear, and no injuries were reported.
Highway 9 was closed between 11th and 12th concessions while crews worked to remove the vehicle. Police said the recovery took several hours because the trailer was carrying approximately 35,000 pounds of groceries.
The roadway reopened around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.
