Saanich commuters may have to change their planned route this afternoon.
On the McKenzie Avenue overpass that turns into Admirals Road, a commercial semi-truck has been involved in a two-vehicle collision that caused the truck to roll over.
The truck now remains on its side propped up on the median and is blocking traffic on the major route indefinitely.
