Multiple Closures in Effect

A deadly collision on Highway 401 Tuesday morning has claimed one life and forced the closure of the westbound lanes for several hours. The incident occurred just south of Ingersoll, where a westbound commercial vehicle lost its wheels and collided with other vehicles in the eastbound lanes.

The impact of the crash resulted in extensive damage and debris scattered across the highway. Emergency crews were quick to respond, but despite their efforts, one person was pronounced dead at the scene. The extent of injuries sustained by other individuals involved in the collision is currently unknown.

As a result of the crash, the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 have been closed to traffic from Ingersoll to Putnam Road. The westbound lanes have reopened, but significant delays are expected in the area. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes or allow for additional travel time.

Police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
