On April 12 shortly after 8:30 a.m., L&A County OPP responded to a collision between multiple vehicles on Highway 401 westbound between Palace Road and County Road 41.
Police, Fire, and Paramedic Services all responded. When police arrived they found two separate collisions contained to the right driving lane and the off-ramp to County Road 41 North. The original collision occurred when a vehicle lost control in the rain and slid into another vehicle. The second collision occurred when a transport truck ran into a school bus as all vehicles were slowing down for the original collision. There were no children on the school bus at the time of the collision. Two people were transported to hospital with minor injuries. The transport truck driver was charged for following too closely to the school bus. Investigation continues for the original driver who lost control of their vehicle. All vehicles were towed from the scene and emergency crews cleared the area. Highway 401 was fully reopened to traffic at 11:30 a.m.
