EXPECT TRAFFIC DELAYS ON HWY 17 IN THE PANCAKE BAY AREA

(Pancake Bay, Ont.) Officers from the Sault Ste Marie OPP detachment have just arrived on the scene of a tractor trailer in the ditch near Pancake Bay.

At about 8:10 a.m. this morning police received a report of the truck in north bound ditch of Hwy 17 between the Hilltop Motel and the Pancake River Bridge.
