Investigators said a semi-tractor hauling lumber was heading east on Highway 9 when it lost control and rolled in the ditch.

The 53-year-old driver and lone occupant was pronounced dead at the scene. RCMP said his name won’t be released.

RCMP Highway 9 was closed for a “period of time” but they did not specify how long. It later reopened to one lane as workers recovered the vehicle.
