An accident involving two trucks near Indian Head, Sask., was causing delays on the Trans-Canada Highway Tuesday afternoon.

RCMP said a semi-trailer truck hauling hempseed collided with a half-ton truck, then flipped onto its side.

Eastbound traffic was blocked, so RCMP rerouted vehicles onto a westbound lane of the highway.
Peter Peters, who was driving the semi, was shaken but wasn't injured.

"I was so scared ... like everybody was going to get killed here," he said. "That was what I had on my mind. I didn't want nobody to get killed."

The accident wasn't his fault, Peters said.

Two people in the pickup were taken to hospital with unspecified injuries.
