Nobody was injured in a crash that blocked the Cranberry Avenue intersection tonight.

Emergency responders were called to the intersection of Cranberry and the Trans-Canada Highway on Sunday, June 13, at 7 p.m., after a crash involving two cars.

Crews said vehicle occupants were being checked over by paramedics at the scene and it appeared no one would be transported to hospital.
