Traffic was backed up on the Ring Road in Regina after a semi-trailer carrying farm chemicals hit the ditch and spilled some of its load.

The crash closed the westbound lanes of the Ring Road between the Wascana Parkway and Albert Street exits for several hours Tuesday morning.

A fire official said about five gallons of liquid leaked from the truck, but the spill was not hazardous.

Westbound traffic on the Ring Road was backed up for several kilometres while crews worked to clean up the spill.
