No one was hurt in the collision and speed was not a factor, according to community engagement officer Hannah Brown.

Engineers from Parks Canada will be inspecting the bridge to determine the damage, and until that happens, no vehicles will be allowed to cross.

The City of Quinte West says a detour is now in place and diverting traffic at highways 2 and 64.
