GORRUD'S 410 MTEUS AVENUE, IN 'iIJON AUTO1 1 I 9O5JU8522TI , accidents happen within minutes By STEPHANIE THIESSEN The Champion A nasty combmnation of freezing rain and a winding stretch of thse highway made for a busy Monday night for fine, ambulance and police, with eight collisions occurring within minutes of each other. OPP Const. Paul Maudsley said by about midigbt there were reports of six property damage accidents and two personal injuries on Hwy. 401 between James Snow Parkway and Guelph Line. Between 11i p.m. and miidnight, Milton firefighters were called to, tbree accidents on Hwy. 401 between Regional Road 25 and Guelphs Line. OPP closed thse higbway from, Regional Road 25 to Guelphs Line from 11:40 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. to dlean up, police said. Ail tbree of the accidents Milton Fire Department were called to involved jack- knifed tractor-trailers, said Capt. Rick Mitchell, wbo waa at each scene. "TIsat nigbt, wben we got tIse firat cal!, tIse roads were very icy," Capt. Mitchell said. "It was drizzly, and the rnads were slippery." The stretcb of Hwy. 401 near Ke!so Conservation Ares from Regional Road 25 10 Guelphs Line often seema especially slip- pery, Ise said. "In tIse Isollow at Kelso, il seemns to get a bit worse." Firefigbters' first call of a jack-knifed tractor-trailer came in just afler 1l p.m. Personnel amrved to fmnd an accident in thse eastbound lanes of Hwy. 401, about a kilo- metre east of the Guelphs Line exil. Two trucks and aI least four other vebicles were involved, with most ending up in thse ditch, CapI. Mitchell said. Wben firefigbters saw traffic was backed up east of thse accident, they drove and found a second accident about Isaîf a kilo- metre away. This lime, there were two jack-knifcd transport trucks and pinned under one of the trailers was a Honda. Fortunately, CapI. Mitchell said, occupants of tIse car weren't trapped and were out of tIse car when fixe- fighters arrived. Several other vehicles involved in tIse incident were 'smashed up," CapI. Mitchell sald, one an airport transport van. In total, there were six 10 cigbt vebicles involved. "RluitI was leaking from dhe vehic!es but there was no extrication required 50 we jusI had 10 dlean up thse leaks. We just finished tIsaI when we got another cal!." 'Ise third accident -and tIse most seri- oua - was in thse westbound lanes beside Kelso Lake, where tIse highway dips down. Il waa about midnight when tIse call was received. Once again, a tractor-traller had jack-knifed. The driver was unconscious and slumped over thse steening wheel, but breathing, CapI. Mitchell said. He waa transported 10 Milton District Hospital by Halton EMS. No other vehi- des were involved. OPP Const.
