Original story:
A Saturday morning collision on Highway 17 has closed all lanes between Batchawana and Wawa.

The cause of the collision and the parties involved have not yet been confirmed.
However, SooToday reached out to the Voyageur's Lodge and Cookhouse, and they heard a transport carrying pigs was turned on its side just north of the restaurant.
