A jackknifed semi-truck is blocking northbound traffic along the Pat Bay Highway in Saanich Saturday afternoon.

That section of the highway has been reduced to single lane traffic and Saanich police say no commercial vehicles are allowed through.

Police are asking people to drive slowly and use caution. They are also recommending people stay at home unless it is essential for them to travel.
