100 Vehicle Collision on Hwy. 401UncategorizedJanuary 11, 2017 Last Saturday’s large pile-up on Hwy. 401 involving up to 100 vehicles is a stark reminder of the dangers of driving this season. Footage provided by CTV News of a large transport truck sliding sideways on the ice and snow is shown in the above clip. The highway was closed for about 9 hours to clear up the series of collisions caused by whiteout conditions. Thankfully no deaths occurred and the several people transported to the hospital are believed to have only suffered minor injuries. During these remaining winter months, take the time to drive safely as suddenly changing conditions are frequent in the winter. We advise you to prepare a winter kit to keep in your car should the unexpected happen and to equip your vehicle with winter tires. Although winter tires can be costly, the winter tire discount on your insurance policy can balance out the cost and there really is no price tag on your safety and the safety of your family.
