On person has been taken to hospital following a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 403 in Hamilton.

Hamilton Paramedic Service Superintendent David Thompson says a 64-year-old man suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the crash, which happened shortly before 11:30 a.m. Friday and involved a tractor-trailer and a smaller transport truck.

“Six others were assessed, but weren’t transported to hospital as they refused further treatment… and reported no injuries,” said Thompson.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) closed the westbound lanes of the 403 from Highway 6 South to the Lincoln Alexander Parkway as crews cleaned up the debris and investigators pieced together what happened.

OPP announced just before 2 p.m. Friday that the highway had reopened.
