Multiple injuries reported in separate Highway 401 crashes near Guelph

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) says multiple injuries have been reported following a crash involving several vehicles on the westbound portion of Highway 401 near Guelph.

Officers with Mississauga OPP were notified of a serious crash just west of Highway 6.

Two vehicles were involved, including a transport truck and a car. One driver was transported to a trauma centre with serious injuries.

The westbound lanes were closed in the area and traffic was exiting at Highway 6 north. The closures have since been lifted.

OPP responded to another collision on the highway involving two commercial vehicles and a passenger van. One driver was transported to a trauma centre via Ornge air helicopter, and another driver was rushed to a trauma centre via ambulance.

All westbound lanes were closed at Guelph Line for the investigation but have reopened.

In an update, provincial police say the injuries from both crashes have been deemed non-life-threatening.
