MARATHON — Earlier Thursday morning, the OPP closed Highway 17 in both directions at White Lake Narrows at Garbage Disposal Road due to a flipped-over transport truck.

The OPP confirmed a box truck rolled over on the highway, but there were no injuries.

As of right now, police have departed, and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario has taken over traffic control.

The MTO is asking motorists to use caution while in the area.
