A driver walked away with minor injuries after a car became lodged under a tractor-trailer during a spate of crashes that disrupted part of the morning commute.
Three crashes occurred in Highway 427’s northbound express lanes, north of the QEW, in a 30-minute span Friday morning, starting at about 5:50 a.m.
Ontario Provincial Police said the first crash occurred when the car became trapped under the tractor-trailer.
Despite the severity of the damage, the driver of the car escaped serious injury, a police spokesman told CP24.
As crews cleared the vehicles and crash debris, two other collisions occurred nearby, including one just north of the initial crash site.
A third crash occurred in the southbound express lanes.
No serious injuries were reported.
