The Tuesday morning commute north of Toronto ground to a halt as a major collision shut down a vital highway. Just before 4 a.m., a transport truck and two passenger vehicles collided on Highway 400, creating a scene of twisted metal and shattered glass.
All northbound lanes were immediately closed between County Road 88 and 89 in Bradford, creating a significant roadblock for early risers. Debris from the impact stretched across the entire roadway, making passage impossible.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, confirming a police officer was among those involved in the devastating crash. Two individuals were transported to hospital, one suffering serious injuries that demanded immediate medical attention.
The impact was substantial, leaving a trail of damage that will take time to clear. Authorities are urging drivers to steer clear of the area entirely and to meticulously plan alternative routes to avoid lengthy delays.
The highway remains closed as investigators work to piece together the events leading up to the collision. The focus now is on ensuring the safety of everyone involved and restoring the flow of traffic as quickly as possible.
