Traffic was slow going on Highway 402 westbound near the Nauvoo Road exit this morning after a transport truck headed toward the Bluewater Bridge lost its rear axel.

The eight back tires and axel from the trailer lay on the passing lane and about 100 meters away the truck came to a stop, upright, with the trailer doors open but the load still intact.

There were no other cars involved in the incident and while OPP have yet to release any information, eye witnesses say it did not appear there were any injuries.
