An ice road near Deline, N.W.T. is closed after a fuel tanker plunged through on Saturday.
The territory's Department of Environment and Natural Resources posted a photo to its Facebook page Saturday showing the truck partly submerged through a hole in the ice.
Ioana Spiridonica, a spokeswoman for the Department of Transportation, said nobody was injured.
"We closed the crossing to all traffic immediately," she said.
The incident took place at an ice crossing just outside the community. The Déline access road follows land for most of its 99 kilometres before crossing Great Bear Lake.
It's not clear how much fuel the truck was carrying or who owns the truck. On Sunday, Spiridonica said she could not immediately comment on the truck's ownership.
Authorities are asking the public to stay clear of the site while they investigate.
Spiridonica said Sunday that crews worked through the night to pump remaining fuel out of the truck. Workers were spraying water into cracks and spaces around the truck to freeze it in place.
"You want to prevent any further sinking," she said.
The Déline access road is the only road connection between the community, located on the shore of Great Bear Lake, and the Sahtu winter road system. The Déline road historically closes around the end of March.
On March 2, the transportation department tweeted that the weight limit for the road had been increased to 40,000 kilograms from 10,000 kilograms.
It wasn't immediately clear if Saturday's incident means the road will close for the season.
Spiridonica said she couldn't speculate on when the road might reopen.
"The crossing will only be opened when it has been deemed safe for public crossing after extensive testing," she said.
