According to New Brunswick’s 511, which shows road conditions and closures for provincial highways, Highway 1 between Hampton and Quispamsis is expected to be closed until 6 p.m. Thursday.
As of about 7 p.m. Wednesday, Cpl. Jullie Rogers-Marsh said the driver of the truck had minor injuries and there was no concern of a spill or leak.
