Toronto drivers urged to slow down amid messy conditions

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 22 Februari 2015 | 22.46

Police are advising drivers to slow down as Saturday's snowfall has caused dozens of accidents throughout the Greater Toronto Area, including a six-vehicle collision in Burlington.

The crash at 9:43 a.m. Saturday included a Safeway coach bus carrying 27 people and a Jeep Cherokee SUV, which collided at the QEW just before the base of the Burlington Skyway Bridge.

Ontario Provincial Police said the bus driver, a 40-year-old Brampton woman, received non-life threatening injuries and was taken by ambulance to hospital. All the passengers were OK.

A 45-year old man driving the Jeep and a 45-year old woman riding with him, both from Grand Valley, Ont., were taken by ambulance to a Hamilton hospital with injuries later determined to be non-life threatening.

The other four vehicles sustained minor damage with no injuries to the people inside.

The Fort Erie-bound lanes were reduced to one lane while the collision was investigated and were re-opened at 12:35 p.m.

Police said the crash happened on compacted snow.

The majority of calls to the OPP have been for single-vehicle collisions, such as cars sliding into ditches and into guard rails. 

Peel Regional Police said early Saturday evening that they had responded to 161 collisions throughout the day.
