Seven people have been hurt and some are said to be in critical condition after an accident on Highway 401 near Cambridge. It happened in the eastbound lanes of the highway near Highway 6 shortly after 3 a.m. A tractor-trailer struck a guard rail and a short time later, an SUV rear-ended the truck. Speed is considered to be a factor. And on the same highway near Keele Street a woman was found without vital signs after a collision in the westbound lanes. She has been declared dead. The westbound express lanes were closed for the investigation, but have since reopened.
