Two people have been transported to hospital following a cement truck crash in downtown Toronto.

A cement truck flipped over in the intersection of Parliament and Richmond Streets shortly after 11 a.m. on Friday.

Police have not said what caused the crash, but are asking motorists to avoid the area.

TTC vehicles are being rerouted, and police cruisers and fire trucks are being used to block traffic.

The roads in the area have since reopened.
