There are also heavy delays on the 409 itself… avoid the area for now.' Two right lanes were closed as crews worked to clean up the spill. Rollover: NB #Hwy427 north of Hwy 409. Single vehicle, no injuries. Clean up is ongoing, two right lanes blocked now, hope to get one more lane opened as cleanup continues for several hours. #TorontoOPP investigating. ^ks — OPP Highway Safety Division (@OPP_HSD) June 2, 2025 Schmidt said the cause of the rollover is still under investigation, but says the driver alleges he was cut off. No other vehicle was damaged, and no one was injured. He anticipates the lanes will be closed for 'a couple of hours.'
