A semi rollover on Highway 2 this morning (October 3rd), caused huge backups for local commuters.

It happened on the southbound portion of the highway near the 566 after a semi tractor trailer rolled over as a result of poor conditions on the road.

The incident was eventually cleared just before 8:15am, but traffic was backed up for quite some time.

Many callers said that even alternate routes around Highway 566 and even Highway 564 were backed up as morning commuters tried to find a way around the QEII.
