The driver of a tractor-trailer was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries early Sunday, following a single-vehicle rollover crash on the westbound 401 near Rodney, Chatham-Kent, OPP said.
The crash occurred around 3 a.m. near Orford Road when a westbound tractor-trailer lost control and rolled onto its side, blocking the westbound lanes of the highway, police said.
Few other details have been provided, and police are continuing to probe a cause.
The crash shut down the westbound lanes of Hwy. 401 at Furnival Road for around 12 hours. The roadway reopened to traffic around 3 p.m. One left eastbound lane was also closed for a short period of time.
No further information has been released.
