Southbound traffic on Highway 400 through Barrie was heavy on Monday afternoon, as expected, with cottagers heading home after the long weekend.

Ontario Provincial Police has not reported any major incidents on the highway this afternoon.

However, there was a vehicle rollover earlier today on the Highway 400 southbound ramp to Highway 401 eastbound involving a loaded truck. Two occupants were taken to hospital with minor injuries and the driver was charged with careless driving. The 400/401 ramp that was affected has since re-opened.
