2 dead as trucks pile up in nightmarish crash on Hwy. 400

 

Two people are dead in a nightmarish collision of vehicles — mostly large trucks — on Highway 400 near Highway 88 Tuesday night about 11.30 p.m. As many as 14 vehicles have been counted among the charred remains as police continue to search for bodies. It seems clear that driver inattention and speed caused a failure to see a slowdown ahead. OPP spokesman Kerry Schmidt said there had been an accident on the northbound lanes of 400 that slowed traffic. It was this slowdown that drivers simply missed or misjudged. Exploding gasoline tanks can be seen and heard in video below. There is coarse language.
