Mounties said the crash caused diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid to spill onto the highway and into the ditch. Envirotech was called to the scene to clean up the spill.

According to police, investigators are still working to determine what caused the crash but said alcohol was not a factor.

Late Thursday evening, police said part of Highway 6 remained closed and traffic was being rerouted as police investigated.
