Manning Drive in northeast Edmonton was shut down in both directions for several hours due to a serious collision early Friday morning.
The closure on Manning Drive/Highway 15 is north of Anthony Henday Drive at 18 Street, where a northbound fuel tanker lost control and rolled around 4 a.m., according to authorities.
Shortly after 8 a.m., Edmonton police said the southbound lanes at Meridian Street were still closed due to the semi-truck rollover, as were the Anthony Henday Drive eastbound and westbound access lanes.
Drivers are asked to avoid the area while the scene was cleared.
