A tractor-trailer crashed on Highway 4 blocking traffic in both directions between Port Alberni and the Tofino-Ucluelet junction from around 4:45 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. on Thursday.

B.C. Conservation Officer Daniel Eichstadter was stopping eastbound traffic near Kennedy Lake around 5 p.m., advising drivers there was a several-hour wait ahead of them to get into Port Alberni. Another road-stop was later set up at the Tofino-Ucluelet junction.

DriveBC reported the highway had reopened at 7:50.
