The roads reopened around 9:30 a.m.
The crash pushed the 501 Queen streetcar to detour eastbound for several hours to Shaw Street, King Street West and Dufferin Street. The 29 Dufferin was also rerouting with detours northbound via King Street, Shaw Street and Queen Street East though both are now back to their normal routes.
Officers were on-scene helping clean up and enlisted a tow truck to clear the tractor trailer. The cause of the collision is still under investigation.
