A ditched semi-trailer created quite the traffic snarl Monday near Ile des Chenes.

According to RCMP, a semi-trailer entered the ditch along Highway 59 Monday morning. 

Steve Baxter, who was driving in that area says the mishap was in the northbound lanes. 

"59 North, just south of the floodway, is closed and they are detouring off to some of the gravel side roads," explains Baxter. 

RCMP say by 11:20 am, a tow truck was on scene to rescue the semi. As a result, this completely blocked the northbound lanes. Police say numerous vehicles began to drive through the ditch to get around the scene, which only caused additional concern. RCMP attended and managed the scene.

According to police, no injuries were reported.
