A busy Winnipeg intersection is closed following a single-vehicle crash early Monday morning.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Waverley Street and Grant Avenue just after 4:30 a.m. today.

A box truck can be seen lying on its side next to a damaged hydro pole.

As a result, westbound Grant Avenue is closed at Oxford Street and eastbound Grant is closed at Waverley Street. Northbound traffic on Waverley Street can only turn east onto Grant Avenue and southbound Waverley Street is closed at Fleet Avenue.

The closure is expected to remain in effect for the next few hours.

There is no word on injuries at this time.

Motorists are encouraged to avoid the area and to find an alternate route.
