LANCASTER – Provincial police say one of the vehicles involved in a Highway 401 crash, east of Lancaster, crossed the median moments before the collision.
SD&G O.P.P. investigators say a Ford F-series truck had been travelling west around 1 p.m. yesterday (Wednesday) and, for some reason, crossed the grass median and collided with an eastbound minivan.
The 69-year-old driver of the truck is in critical condition in hospital. The 49-year-old driver of the minivan suffered non-life threatening injuries, police said.
The names and hometowns of the two victims have not been released.
The crash closed a section of the eastbound Highway 401 for nearly eight hours on Wednesday.
SD&G O.P.P. are being helped by O.P.P. Traffic Collision Investigators (TCI) as they try to determine the cause of the crash.
