Westbound traffic on the south Perimeter Highway is being tied up Monday afternoon.

A boat being hauled behind a truck came off its trailer and came to rest in the left-hand lane at St. Anne's Road.

Police are on the scene directing traffic around the incident, but traffic is extremely backed up.

There does not appear to be any other vehicles involved.

A towtruck arrived around 4 p.m. and traffic is expected to be freed up soon.
