Emergency crews are on the scene of a tractor trailer rollover on Highway 401 in Quinte West that is delaying traffic.
Shortly before noon Thursday, a tractor trailer rolled in the westbound lanes near Aikins Road, just east of the Glen Miller road exit, blocking both lanes.
The driver of the transport was checked out by paramedics but refused transport to hospital.
Quinte West Fire Chief John Whelan tells Quinte News the rig was carrying building material.
Firefighters had to disconnect the electrical lines and plug a minor fuel leak.
