Highway 400 fully reopens after fatal collision

A woman is dead following a crash between a vehicle and tractor-trailer on northbound Highway 400 near Highway 89.

All lanes have been reopened on Highway 400 following a fatal collision this morning.

The highway was closed after a transport truck lost control and struck a vehicle on Highway 400 just south of Barrie.

The collision occurred shortly after 2 a.m. this morning just north of Highway 89 near Innisfil.

The 46-year-old Montreal woman was driving her Mustang south on Highway 400 when the truck travelling north lost control, jumped the guardrail and crashed into her vehicle.

The highway was closed for several hours from Mapleview Drive to County Road 89 as crew’s cleaned up the debris and repaired the damaged guardrail.

OPP say that near freezing temperatures caused a flash-freeze on Highway 400 in the area, causing numerous crashes to occur.
