Original story follows.
A collision involving a tractor-trailer blocked the Toronto-bound lanes of the QEW in Oakville on Friday morning.
The truck ended up in a ditch, with its trailer obstructing the three right lanes as of 10:30 a. m., according to the Ontario Provincial Police on X.
Footage from Ministry of Transportation cameras showed emergency responders at the scene, and only the HOV lane was getting through at 11 a. m.
