A major multi-vehicle collision has brought northbound traffic to a standstill on a key stretch of Highway 400, creating significant delays for Tuesday morning commuters north of Toronto.
Details of the Highway 400 Collision
According to the Ontario Provincial Police, the incident involves a transport truck and two passenger vehicles. The severity of the crash has forced authorities to close all northbound lanes on Highway 400 between County Road 88 and County Road 89 in the Bradford area. The closure was reported on the morning of Tuesday, January 13, 2026.
Emergency crews are currently on the scene managing the situation. The OPP has not yet released information on potential injuries or the specific cause of the collision as their investigation is ongoing.
Traffic Impacts and Commuter Advice
The closure is expected to cause extensive delays on one of Ontario's busiest highways, a critical artery for traffic moving north from the Greater Toronto Area. Motorists are being strongly advised to avoid the affected area entirely for the foreseeable future.
Drivers who typically use this route should plan for significant detours and allow for extra travel time. Authorities are urging commuters to seek alternate routes until further notice and to monitor real-time traffic updates for the latest information on lane reopenings.
This incident serves as a reminder for all drivers to exercise caution, especially during morning commutes when traffic volume is high and conditions can change rapidly.
