The driver of a pickup truck is dead after a collision Tuesday afternoon with a transport truck on Highway 401 just south of London, Ont.
Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Ed Sanchuk said Tuesday that emergency services were called to the eastbound lanes just after 3 p.m. and that the pickup truck driver was ejected from their vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The transport truck driver was not injured.
“For the westbound drivers, please stop trying to take pictures of the crash,” he said.
“Officers will be sitting at the roadway and if you happen to be on your cellphone, I can anticipate you’re going to be stopped and given a ticket.”
Anyone with dashcam footage of the incident is asked to contact provincial police.
The highway was completely closed heading eastbound until roughly 9 p.m. Tuesday.
