A stretch of Hwy. 416 was closed for several hours on Saturday after a transport truck rolled over, spilling jugs of milk across the road.

The crash happened in the southbound lanes of the highway near Roger Stevens Drive at around 6:30 a.m.

One driver was assessed at the scene and taken to hospital with minor injuries, according to Ottawa paramedics.
