The RCMP said Friday that a section of the Trans-Canada Highway just west Clarenville was impassable due to what the force calling a "serious collision."

The obstruction is about two kilometres west of the town, the force said in a statement.

Cpl. Jolene Garland told CBC News in a subsequent email that the collision was between two vehicles, "one of which is a transport truck."

The inability to pass is expected to be an issue for a number of hours, the police said in a statement shortly after 2:30 p.m. NT.

Police said they will provide further updates on the situation.

The statement did not indicate how many vehicles were involved in the collision or if there were any fatalities.

Relic of the Buddha loaned by China gets a warm welcome in Thailand
More than 2,000 people took part Wednesday in a procession to escort a relic of the Buddha lent by China to a shrine in the Thai capital Bangkok to honor the birthday of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and to celebrate half a century of diplomatic relations between Thailand and China. Loans of the tooth as a show of friendship have been an effective form of soft diplomacy by China, even though competing claims from various countries on possessing the Buddha’s tooth raise questions about its provenance. Representatives of China, including Beijing’s ambassador to Thailand, were also present, according to local media.

China bans export of critical minerals to US as trade tensions escalate
China on Tuesday banned exports to the United States of the critical minerals gallium, germanium and antimony that have widespread military applications, escalating trade tensions the day after Washington's latest crackdown on China's chip sector. The curbs strengthen enforcement of existing limits on critical minerals exports that Beijing began rolling out last year, but apply only to the U.S. market, in the latest escalation of trade tensions between the world's two largest economies ahead of President-elect Donald Trump taking office next month.
