MOOSE JAW, Sask. - Emergency crews remain on the scene of a large accident along the Trans-Canada highway in north Moose Jaw.

Part of the Trans-Canada Highway is closed due to a fuel tanker spill near Moose Jaw, Sask.

Police say a westbound fuel tanker lost control and rolled.

Sgt. Mark Girard says the truck was hauling more than 50,000 litres of fuel.

No homes have been evacuated, and traffic in both directions was being re-routed through Moose Jaw while emergency crews clean up the leak.

Girard says the highway will likely remain closed until sometime tonight.
