According to OPP West Region on Twitter, at least 50 vehicles were on Highway 402 near Kerwood Road. As a result, the entire stretch of Highway 402 from London to Sarnia was closed by OPP due to “collisions and deteriorating weather conditions.”
Earlier in the afternoon, OPP had closed Highway 402 eastbound between Colonel Talbot Road and Highway 401 due to multiple collisions, with OPP extending the list of road closures as the day progressed.
In a tweet, OPP said no major injuries were sustained during the crashes on the Highway 401 and 402 corridor, but add two people have been transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
“Police strongly encourage not to travel unless necessary,” OPP wrote.
