A semi rollover east of Swift Current on the Trans-Canada Highway caused traffic delays late Thursday afternoon.

The crash forced the closure of both westbound lanes of Highway #1, with Swift Current Rural RCMP directing all westbound traffic north of town on a grid road detour past the scene.

Shortly after 5:00 p.m., several tow trucks attended to the semi and attempted to lift the vehicle back onto its wheels in an effort to clear the scene of the crash and let traffic resume as normal. As of 5:30 p.m., crews were still attending to the semi and motorists can expect delays heading towards Swift Current on the Trans-Canada.

No update has been given on any potential injuries, if another vehicle was involved, as well as the cause of the incident. However, updates will be provided as they arise.
