Provincial police say one person is dead after a wrong-way vehicle crashed into a concrete barrier and caught fire on Highway 407 northeast of Toronto.
Investigators were called to the eastbound side of the highway between Brock Road and the York-Durham line just after noon on Thursday, OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said.
“We got reports before that of a wrong-way vehicle travelling westbound in the eastbound lanes,” he said. “That vehicle has come into contact and collided with a concrete barrier and as a result that vehicle burst also into flames.”
