Fuel Tankers Involved In Fiery 14-Vehicle Crash On Ontario Highway

At least two people are dead after a fiery crash involving at least 14 vehicles on Highway 400 south of Barrie and Ontario Provincial Police are warning that the death toll could rise. It happened on the northbound lanes of the highway north of Highway 88 at around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says that traffic had slowed down along the highway due to a three-vehicle collision about one kilometre up the road when the pileup happened. Schmidt said that five trucks, including at least two fuel tankers, were involved in the crash. Schmidt said that “massive fireballs and massive explosions” reduced most of the vehicles to “shells” with “nothing left.”
