The eastbound offramp remained open.
'It is unknown how long the closure will be in effect as the situation is being assessed and cleanup occurs,' the post read.

Wasaga Beach restores town's first ever fire truck from 1947
The Town of Wasaga Beach proudly unveiled its fully restored 1947 Seagrave fire truck, a cherished vehicle that once served the local fire department and has long held a place in the hearts of residents. (Town of Wasaga Beach) After sitting out of commission for years, a piece of Wasaga Beach's firefighting history has roared back to life. The town proudly unveiled its fully restored 1947 Seagrave fire truck, a cherished vehicle that once served the local fire department and has long held a place in the hearts of residents. Town council approved the idea last November, bringing the restoration project to life. The result is nothing short of awesome; a gleaming red, vintage fire engine that now looks just as impressive as it did decades ago. The fully decked out truck has a new engine, transmission, and front tires. 'Over the past several months, countless hours of hard work, passion, and teamwork went into bringing this classic engine back to life,' shared the town on social media. The 1947 Seagrave, Wasaga Beach's first fire truck, has experienced a lot over the years and now, it will continue to endure new experiences and places.

G1 driver of uninsured car stopped going the wrong way on Hwy. 417 in Ottawa
A G1 driver who was caught driving the wrong way on an off-ramp from Highway 417 Saturday afternoon had no insurance. (OPP/ X) The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) says a G1 driver who was caught driving the wrong way on an off-ramp from Highway 417 Saturday afternoon had no insurance. Police say the woman, 59, was stopped when she was spotted going off the ramp from the highway at Moodie Drive. That was when police found that the car was uninsured, and that the woman is a G1 driver. As a result, she is facing charges related to G1 violations and a $5,000 fine for driving an uninsured vehicle. The G1 licence is the beginner's or learner's permit in Ontario. G1 drivers have many restrictions, including the requirement to have a qualified driver with them when hitting the roads to minimize the risk of accidents. More information about the restrictions is available online.
