All lanes on the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway (DVP) have reopened hours after they were shut down while police investigated a fatal crash involving three dump trucks.
One person, a 50-year-old, was killed in the crash that happened on the Gardiner between York Street and Spadina Avenue at around 2:17 Tuesday afternoon.
Toronto police say the man suffered an unknown medical emergency was driving red-and-white dump truck and struck a white sedan and then struck a silver dump truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
All lanes of the westbound Gardiner at York Street were closed for several hours and the southbound DVP was also closed from Bayview/Bloor to the Gardiner, snarling traffic on the already-busy roads.
It was the second major incident involving dump trucks on Tuesday.
A stretch of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) in Mississauga was closed after a dump truck struck a pedestrian bridge under construction during the Tuesday morning rush hour.
