It was a deadly morning on the roads with two fatal accidents reported before 7am.
One person was killed when a tractor-trailer and a car collided at
Highways 7 and 50 just before 6am Tuesday, leaving the smaller vehicle badly mangled.
Authorities closed off the area around the busy intersection for their investigation and it was off-limits to motorists for the entire morning rush.
Another serious accident resulted in lane closures on Highway 400.
A tractor-trailer crashed into the guardrail just south of King Road, forcing police to close two southbound lanes on the very busy stretch of highway.
The crash left a lot of debris on the road and also resulted in a fuel spill. The clean-up and investigation lasted through the morning.
And police are investigating
yet another accident that happened early Tuesday that claimed a pedestrian’s life.
The woman was crossing the street at Warden Avenue and Cataraqui Crescent, just north of Danforth Road, when she was struck by a car around 6:30am. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
