OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said racks of uniform linens rolled out of the back of a transport truck on the eastbound Highway 401 ramp to the DVP & Highway 404.

That area is closed while crews work to clean up the cargo. Video from the scene shows several racks of clothing strewn across the roadway.

“The door opened up, crashed through the back and ended up down on the ground,” Schmidt said.
