A driver is dead after a collision between a car and a transport truck on the eastbound QEW in Hamilton.
Ontario Provincial Police say the crash happened around 6 a.m. on Friday morning.
Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said in a social media post that investigators believe the truck was rear ended by a sedan during traffic congestion due to road maintenance forcing traffic into a left lane.
“This passenger vehicle, in the live lane as it approached, collided with the back corner of the transport truck’s trailer,” Schmidt said.
“The vehicle subsequently came to rest on it’s roof.”
