A transport in the ditch is causing traffic delays on Highway 144. 

The single-vehicle crash happened today (Jan. 31) on Highway 144 in Edinburgh Township, about 20 kilometres south of the Watershed, said South Porcupine OPP.

The commercial motor vehicle was heading north when it lost control, struck the ditch and flipped on its side, according to police.

The driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was brought to the hospital as a precaution.

"The highway is down to one lane with the potential for a full road closure as the CMV is removed from the ditch.  No detour is available and motorists should expect delays," reads the news release.
