Witnesses at the scene have said an SUV may be stuck underneath the semi.

The collision has completely blocked the highway northbound just past the airport near the Ellison Lake pull-out. Highway 97 is closed at Old Vernon Road in both directions.

Emergency crews are on scene and traffic is being re-routed. Police are asking drivers to avoid the area.

There is no estimated time of reopening.
