CRANBROOK, B.C. — A hazardous materials spill has closed a section of Highway 3 in southeastern British Columbia.
Southeast District Traffic Services Sgt. Don Erichsen says a commercial vehicle rolled early Tuesday morning, closing the route just east of Jaffray, about 50 kilometres southeast of Cranbrook.
Erichsen says the truck was hauling hazardous goods, but he did not indicate what was spilled.
He says the situation is controlled but the cleanup could take hours.
