A Wednesday morning crash involving a tractor-trailer and a pickup truck on the 403 near the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway (Linc) shut down part of the roadway and caused a backup for hours.

OPP Const. Lauren Ball told Global News they were called out to the scene of the crash around 5:00 a.m. after a tractor-trailer rolled over and pinned a pickup between the trailer and a guard rail just past the Linc on-ramp.

Ball said two people were sent to hospital with minor injuries.
