Provincial police closed a stretch of Highway 401 for most of Friday after a fiery tractor trailer rollover damaged the road.

OPP closed the Highway 401 at Queens Line Road for several hours Friday morning. It was reopened for a brief period, before being closed again for road resurfacing.

Investigators say a transport was travelling near Dillon Line when it rolled over and the cab of the truck caught fire.

The driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The highway wasn't fully re-opened until after 5 p.m.
