A crash on the MacKay Bridge this morning made a lot of people late for work.

Officials with Halifax Harbour Bridges say both spans were backed up following the crash.

Five cars were involved.

It happened at 7:25 a.m.

One woman suffered minor injuries.

Bridge officials say the crash has been cleared. But traffic remained backed up on the MacKay and the Macdonald because so many people used it as an alternate route.
