Tractor-trailer hauling chickens flips over on QEW in Oakville

A flipped tractor trailer caused a headache for drivers on the QEW in Oakville during the Tuesday morning commute.

All westbound lanes of the highway were blocked for several hours, west of Third Line, after a transport truck hauling chickens ended up lying on its side shortly after 5 a.m.

Traffic was only able to squeeze by the crash on the left shoulder for most of the morning.

Crews were on scene unloading chickens from the truck by hand and stacking plastic cages on the highway. The highway was able to reopen around 10 a.m.

No injuries have been reported.

There is no word yet on the cause of the crash.
