One person is dead after a multi-vehicle collision involving a pedestrian in a southbound lane of Highway 400 near Innisfil.
Aurora OPP said the crash happened at 8:26 a.m. Monday near Innisfil Beach Road.
In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, media relations Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said a vehicle broke down in an area of the highway that was under construction.
He said there was no shoulder where the driver could pull over so the vehicle was stopped in the right lane of moving traffic.
“As the driver was exiting the vehicle, my understanding is they were struck by a passing vehicle,” Schmidt said.
Only the left lane heading southbound on the highway was open Monday morning while police were investigating.
People are advised to expect delays in the area of Highway 400 headed southbound near Innisfil Beach Road.
More details will be provided as they become available.
