No injuries in semi truck rollover on Highway 39

Breton RCMP members are diverting traffic on Highway 39 and Range Road 45 after a semi truck rollover earlier Wednesday morning.

Mounties say just before 11 a.m. members were dispatched along with other emergency services after a truck hauling lumber was involved in a single vehicle rollover, and as a result caught fire. 

The truck and the lumber eventually became fully engulfed in flames. Police say the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle escaped without injury. 

Motorists are recommended to avoid this area while crews work to clean up the highway which is expected to take at least two more hours.
