BayToday reporter Chris Dawson says it appears a garbage truck and a car took out a hydro pole and hydro officials are assessing the scene.
One woman was seen getting into an ambulance, but injuries do not appear serious.
The westbound traffic on Airport Road has been diverted at O'Brien Street and is causing lots of congestion for the morning drive.
Police are on the scene for traffic control, and City workers have set up "road closed" signage and barricades.
