Investigators and clean-up crews work to clear the road on Friday afternoon following a semi-truck roll-over near Highway 91 and Highway 17.

Delta police are investigating a pair of serious accidents that tied up traffic for hours over the weekend in both North Delta and South Delta.

The first accident impacted the Friday afternoon commute in North Delta when a semi-truck attempting to make a turn southbound onto Highway 91 from Highway 17 rolled over and in the process the truck struck another semi-truck.

Police said the collision impacted traffic for several hours due to the scene investigation and the heavy-duty tow trucks needed to right the semi-truck and remove it from the road.
Police say the accident is still under investigation. No injuries were reported.

On Sunday in South Delta, an afternoon accident along Salish Drive near Salish Sea Way forced a closure of the road between 41B and 48th streets while traffic investigators examined the scene.
Police say minor injuries were reported in the accident, which is still under investigation.
