The westbound lanes of Highway 401 near the Highway 40 exit in Chatham will remain closed until about 12 p.m. while OPP investigators probe a fatal tractor-trailer collision.
Police say a tractor-trailer was travelling eastbound shortly before 1:30 a.m. when it drove through the median, spilling its load of paper products across the westbound lanes before coming to rest in the north ditch.
The driver, a 56-year-old Lockport, New York man was transported to hospital by ambulance and later pronounced dead.
