A car that crashed into a guardrail and then flipped on its roof caused traffic issues on the MacKay bridge during the Wednesday morning commute.
Most approaches on the Halifax-bound side of the MacKay were closed, drivers could only access the toll booths from Prince Margaret Boulevard.
The red sedan smashed into a guardrail on the right side of the Circumferential Highway as it approaches the tolls to the MacKay around 5 a.m.
