Southbound lanes were impacted throughout the morning commute with traffic shut down at points.

Manseau said it’s too early to know the cause of the crash.

“The investigators are still trying to determine the cause and they want to speak to that driver once they’re out of hospital,” Manseau said.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen the woman and her dog walking along the highway prior to the crash to contact them.
