Highway 17 West of Kenora Closed


It could be a while before Highway 17 west of Kenora is open to two way traffic again.

Highway 17, just east of the Ontario/Manitoba border is still closed due to a motor vehicle accident.

The OPP says two tractor trailor units collide just after 5:00 this morning about three kilometers west of the Shoal Lake turn-off.

Three people were injured, but no other details about the accident have been released.

Police now says the highway could be closed until at least 10:00 this morning while the wreckage is cleared and officers complete their investigation.
