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.”
He said the incident stopped traffic on the eastbound QEW and caused delays in the westbound lanes between Centennial Parkway and Fruitland Road for the entire morning.
OPP say the deceased is Noah Ferrusi, 20, from Oakville.
The driver of the transport truck was not seriously hurt.
