A single-vehicle crash involving a transport truck on the Thunder Bay Expressway forced police to close a southbound lane of the highway just before 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Officers with the Thunder Bay detachment of the OPP and city firefighters responded to the rollover just after 4:30 p.m. at the corner of the Thunder Bay Expressway and the Harbour Expressway.

Thunder Bay OPP Sgt. David Moscall said no one was hurt and no other vehicles were struck as a result of the crash.

He told local media at the scene that it appeared that the truck's load had shifted as the driver turned onto the Expressway from the Harbour Expressway.

That led the truck to tip over onto the island between the highway's southbound lane and the Harbour Expressway ramp.

Police blocked off that ramp and the one southbound lane.

The truck was hauling paper at the time of the crash.
