A 22-year-old fuel-truck driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries Thursday night after crashing into a concrete pole and winding up in a ditch along Fort William Road.
Police and fire crews have blocked off Fort William Road across from Thunder Centre, as well as a portion of Isabel Street.
Police say they were faced with a "considerable mess of diesel fuel and vehicle fluids."
In a release issued on Friday morning, police said the fuel-truck's cargo was offloaded to another vehicle before the wreckage was taken away, though it appeared the cargo container remained intact.
"The truck appears to be demolished," said traffic Sgt. Glenn Porter. "Clean-up work is complete, but the odour of diesel fule may be noticed in the area."
Police say the investigation continues. They did not say whether or not charges would be laid.
