Man critically injured in collision on Highway 407 in Whitby, two EB lanes closed

A man in his 70s was taken to hospital in critical condition after a collision on Highway 407 in Whitby.

Both lanes of eastbound Highway 407 have reopened following a single-vehicle collision near the Thickson off-ramp in Whitby that sent a man in his 70s to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon.

Two lanes of the Thickson Road off-ramp, however, remain closed for emergency repairs.

Ornge air ambulance service said they transported a male to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre with critical injuries.

Ontario Provincial Police later said the driver of the vehicle was taken to a Toronto-area trauma centre with non-life-threatening injuries.

They said the motorist collided with a guardrail and their vehicle flipped over.

Cleanup is now underway.
