Highway 17 was closed briefly Monday afternoon after a two-vehicle crash in Nairn Centre, west of Sudbury.

The collision between a transport and a cube van happened around 3 p.m. at the Birch Street intersection on the two-lane stretch of road, Ontario Provincial Police Const. Berkley Parisien told CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca in a phone interview.

One of the lanes reopened around 4 p.m. as tow trucks arrived and police waited for clean up of the site.

Parisien said no major injuries were sustained in the crash, so the road should be fully reopened shortly.

She said there will likely be an investigation into what caused the crash as the roads are clear, it is 16 C and mostly cloudy.
