The westbound lanes of Highway 401 have reopened in Pickering this morning after police say they wrapped up the on-scene portion of the investigation into Tuesday’s deadly crash and explosion.
Police said the driver struck the centre concrete wall and rolled into the westbound lanes, rupturing the truck's tank and resulting in the spill of 54,000 litres of “highly flammable” liquid. The drivers of both transport trucks were pronounced dead at the scene while the occupants of the passenger vehicle escaped the crash without serious injury.
