The transport truck went through the centre median, striking a dump truck travelling on the northbound side of the highway. 

The transport truck then ended up in the woods on the northbound side of the highway.

Police closed the northbound lane of Highway 88 near Bradford West Gwillimbury. The lanes have since reopened. 

Traffic was being diverted away from the highway, and drivers can get back on the 400 at Highway 89.

Police warned that the crash caused significant delays for those travelling between Toronto and Barrie in both directions.

No injuries have been reported, police say.
