In an interview with CP24, police say the lone vehicle was travelling southbound in the express lanes when it struck the left-side guardrail.
The driver was transported to hospital with serious injuries that were initially believed to be life-threatening but have since been downgraded to life-altering, officials noted.
“So right now, we’re dealing with a motor vehicle collision. It’s just a single motor vehicle collision. So that’s one vehicle,” said OPP Const. Taylor Konkle. “What happened? It was traveling southbound in the Express at approximately four o’clock in the morning, and it struck the left side guardrail.”
The express lanes were previously due to the investigation. However at around 1:30 p.m., officials say all lanes reopened.
