Rollover closes some westbound lanes of Highway 401 Thursday morning
Transport trailer crashed into concrete wall, driver suffered non-life threatening injuries
A serious crash on Highway 401 is causing traffic headaches Thursday morning coming into Scarborough.
The single-vehicle crash happened just before 1 a.m. in the westbound lanes near Neilson Road. A tow truck that was hauling a transport trailer crashed into a concrete barrier resulting in a fire, the OPP's highway safety division said in a social media post.
The driver was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and has been charged with careless driving, police say.
Westboard collector lanes in the area are closed Thursday morning for cleanup, and likely won't reopen until at least 10 a.m., said Sgt. Kerry Schmidt, spokesperson for the OPP's highway safety division.
"So it will be a headache for anyone who's coming into the GTA in the east end there as they're dealing with these problems," he said.
