A busy section of Portage Avenue is closed Friday morning following a serious collision. 

Just before 8 a.m., emergency crews were called to the intersection of Portage Avenue and Bedson Street. 

There are reports that the collision involved more than one vehicle. The crash also knocked down a nearby bus shelter and severely damaged a hydro pole. 

There is no word on injuries at this time.

As a result, Portage Avenue is closed in both directions between Cavalier Drive and David Street. 

Motorists are encouraged to avoid the area and find another route. 

More details to come.
