Hwy. 401 crash near Woodstock seriously injures driver, snarls traffic for hours
CBC
One person was taken to hospital with serious injuries on Sunday morning in a roll-over crash near Woodstock, Ont. that caused gridlock along Hwy. 401 for hours.
The single-vehicle crash happened around 7 a.m. along the westbound lanes of the highway between Sweaburg Road and Dodge Line.
A photo posted on social media by the OPP shows an overturned tractor trailer being winched out of the highway's north ditch by two heavy-duty tow trucks.
Details about the incident were limited, and the OPP did not return a request for comment on Sunday.
The driver of the truck was taken to a local hospital for serious injuries, police said shortly before 8 a.m. Their current condition is not clear.
The collision caused significant delays along the westbound lanes of the highway into the late afternoon.

The University of Calgary's move to relocate its School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape into a 180,000 square-foot space in the former Nexen Building — an office tower that sat virtually vacant for about six years — has been lauded by many as a big step for this city's downtown revitalization.
