Roy Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Here's what I have: A fiery tractor-trailer collision is creating traffic chaos for people who use Canada's busiest highway. Ontario Provincial Police have closed a stretch of Highway 401's eastbound lanes in Oshawa after a tractor-trailer crashed and caught fire early Tuesday morning. Police said the lanes are expected to be closed between Stevenson and Ritson roads until 11:30 a.m. to allow engineers to inspect a bridge and the road to assess the damage and determine if any repairs are required. OPP said the fiery crash occurred under the Simcoe Street overpass at about 1:40 a.m. No injuries were reported. Police said the tractor-trailer wasn't carrying any hazardous goods.

vance Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 The infamous Simcoe street bridge,the oldest and narrowest one on the 401.Its a wonder that there aren't more accidents there where the 2 outside lanes are squeezed in to allow 3 lanes of traffic. vance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
