A main road into downtown Prince Rupert was closed Friday afternoon after a truck towing a refrigerated trailer tipped over while making the turn from McBride onto 2nd Ave. West.

RCMP noted there were no injuries, though fluids quickly spilled out onto the road. Firefighters and emergency personnel also responded. There were no decals or identifying company information on the doors of the truck when it was righted by two tow trucks.

RCMP would not comment on whether speed was a factor given the early stage of the investigation.
