Highway 102 inbound near Miller Lake has reopened after it was closed for hours Friday after a garbage truck flipped onto its side.

The driver of the garbage truck was injured, police say. He was taken to hospital but is expected to survive.

The accident happened around 10:30 a.m. about two kilometres before the merge with Highway 118 to Dartmouth.

RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Clarke said the truck was in the median.

Clarke said both inbound lanes were closed to remove the truck.
