Fiery Crash Shuts Down Westbound Highway 401 Near Neilson Road

A dramatic early morning crash involving a tow truck and a transport trailer brought westbound traffic on Highway 401 in Scarborough to a standstill Thursday.

The incident occurred just before 1 a.m. near Neilson Road, when a tow truck hauling a tractor-trailer collided with a concrete crash barrier. The impact caused the trailer to roll over and catch fire, prompting a swift emergency response. The driver was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and has since been charged with careless driving.

As a result, the westbound collector lanes and the transfer to the express lanes were closed, along with the northbound Neilson ramp to the westbound 401. Authorities aimed to reopen the affected stretch by 10 a.m., but commuters were warned to expect significant delays during the morning rush hour.
