Commuters should have their detour routes ready as Regional Road 174 remains closed between Trim and Quigley Hill roads, after a collision Wednesday evening.

Two people were transported to hospital, one in critical condition, after a tanker went into a ditch at about 8 p.m.

A four-door compact was also involved the collision and at least one person had to be extricated from the vehicle. Ottawa paramedics said one person involved in the collision was a 21-year-old woman who was in critical condition.

Cleanup crews remain on site after the tanker spilled some of the silica sand it was carrying as well as diesel fuel from its side tanks.

“While they were transferring the product in another truck, that’s when they noticed the spill,” said Ottawa Fire Service spokesman Marc Messier, adding both aspects are causing the significant traffic delays.

Crews have a heavy tow truck to lift the tanker out of the ditch and another truck to help remove the sand

Ottawa Police Service said it expects the road to remain closed until 3 p.m. Thursday.

Here are some suggested alternate routes:

For westbound traffic:

South on Cameron Street to Old Montreal Road

West on Old Montreal Road to Frank Kenny Road

South on Frank Kenny Road to Innes Road

West on Innes Road to Trim Road

North on Trim Road to Highway 174

For eastbound traffic:
