Not one but two accidents on the Trans-Canada Highway near Mays Rd. had traffic backed up Tuesday afternoon.
The first one involved three vehicles and happened before 1 p.m.
An eyewitness told SunFM News there was lots of debris in the southbound passing lane.
As emergency vehicles were at the scene and traffic was bottlenecked at the intersection, a woman driving a silver car was hit from behind by a white truck.
Southbound traffic was blocked at Mays Rd. from about 1:30 p.m. because of the second accident.
At least one person was taken away on a stretcher, but police were not confirming whether anyone was seriously injured in either accident.
