One person has died after being struck by a vehicle on Highway 400 southbound just south of Innisfil Beach Road.
Provincial police were called to the scene in the southbound lanes on Monday at 8:30 a.m.
Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says the incident happened as a person was exiting a vehicle that had broken down in a live traffic lane on the right side of the highway. When they exited the vehicle, they were struck by a passing car.
The incident happened in a construction zone where there was no shoulder to pull off into.
Several lanes were blocked for over five hours, but have since reopened.
