“There are only major collisions right now and delays in this area,” he said.
“Please, as you head into this area, proceed with safety and caution even if it starts to dry up, collisions will unfortunately continue to happen as the drivers are just not paying attention. “
All westbound traffic is diverted onto Main Street, according to the OPP.
