A tractor-trailer was involved in a fiery crash that has shut down the westbound express lanes of Highway 401 near the DVP, with cleanup expected to take several hours.
It happened just after 5 a.m. near Leslie Street, impacting Highway 404 approaching Allen Road. OPP said the HOV tunnel from southbound Highway 404 to westbound Highway 401 is also closed.
The driver of the tractor-trailer crashed into a highway barrier, resulting in a significant fire on the highway.
