The intersection of Grant Avenue and Stafford is still closed following a serious collision in this morning's rush hour.

The Winnipeg Police Service says that the intersection is now expected to be closed until late afternoon.

Callers first alerted CHVN to the accident around 7 a.m. Friday. At that time there was still traffic going through for southbound Stafford and eastbound Grant.

Shortly after 7 a.m. the WPS announced that the intersection has been closed completely. The Winnipeg Traffic Management Centre says traffic rerouting on to Harrow Avenue.

It is recommended to avoid the area this morning. The WPS could not say how long the closure would remain in place.
