The first significant snowfall of the season has resulted in a number of collisions on GTA highways this morning.
All eastbound lanes of Highway 403 were closed between Dundas Street and Winston Churchill Boulevard this morning following a collision involving a tractor-trailer but the highway has since reopened.
Southbound lanes of Highway 410 are currently closed at Highway 401 in Mississauga this morning due to a jack-knifed tractor-trailer.
It is unclear when the highways will fully reopen.
Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said Ontario Provincial Police have responded to approximately 400 collisions over the past 24 hours on GTA roads.
In York Region, two people were taken to hospital this morning following a collision near Green Lane and Yonge Street in East Gwillimbury. One person suffered life-threatening injuries.

So get this, those 400 accidents the OPP have responded to do not include city streets.

Crazy how people still drive like its dry pavement on their crappy all-seasons.

Saw a moron fishtail 2 lanes wide in front of me yesterday on the 404 and didn't even slow down after he had it straight again.

Saw one of these "parked" the same way unattended off the ramp from the 427 SB onto the 401 WB this morning.

"HighwayThrough Hell" and "Canada's Worst Driver" all rolled into one nice package.

I know the exact spot you're talking about. Seems to be that a lot of vehicles lose it there.

We need less people.


I for one can't wait for the depopulation plan to come into effect.

Or thinking the most expensive winter tires and awd vehicle will allow you to go 120 kph on snow ice and slush while making a left turn
