Eastbound lanes of Highway 401 in Toronto reopen after tractor-trailer crash, fuel spill
Several express and collector lanes of Highway 401 have reopened following a crash involving a tractor-trailer Friday evening
Ontario Provincial Police said three express lanes and three collector lanes of the eastbound highway between Bayview Avenue and Yonge Street were closed after a car and tractor-trailer collided just after 6 p.m.
The crash left the tractor-trailer straddling the median between the collector and express lanes and police said diesel fuel has spilled onto the highway.

No injuries have been reported.
In a social media update early Saturday, OPP officers said the road should be reopened by around 9 a.m. and MTO officials later confirmed the crash was cleared. They say the lengthy closure was needed due to the extent of the spill and barrier damage.
