Westbound King reopens at Dufferin

Westbound King Street West was blocked at Dufferin Street for almost three hours after a large trash container rolled off the back of a truck and spilled debris Thursday morning.

The debris – garbage bags, pieces of wood and rocks – mostly spilled onto a sidewalk when the truck lost its load shortly before 7:30 a.m. Westbound King Street was blocked until about 10:25 a.m.

No injuries were reported.

TTC streetcar service returned to normal when the road reopened. During the closure, the westbound 504 King streetcars were diverting and shuttle buses were operating.
