A traffic accident on the Trans-Canada Highway in Newfoundland’s western region has led to the closure of one lane, with the potential for a full shutdown, according to police authorities. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported that the incident occurred approximately six kilometers west of the Flat Bay Junction, close to Flat Bay and Route 403 in the Bay St. George area.
Authorities have indicated that while one lane is currently blocked, there is a likelihood of a complete closure as emergency crews arrive at the scene to manage the situation. Motorists are advised to anticipate delays, adhere to reduced speeds, and comply with instructions from emergency personnel.
Further updates on the situation are expected to be provided by the police in due course.
