Westbound lanes of Hwy. 402 reopen after crash causes acid spill
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say Highway 402 westbound near Strathroy has reopened Friday morning after a serious crash led to a chemical spill earlier in the week. The crash between a tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle happened Wednesday, after 1 p.m. ET police said. Crews who responded found material leaking from the tractor-trailer that was carrying approximately 45,000 litres of monochloroacetic acid. About 100 litres of the acid was spilled, the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks told CBC News in a statement. The westbound lanes of hwy. 402 between Centre Road and Kerwood Road were closed Wednesday and Thursday as hazmat crews worked to clean up the spill. The roads reopened early Friday morning, according to a post published by police on X at 1:45 a.m. The driver of a passenger vehicle cut off the tractor-trailer and the truck ended up in the ditch. No one was seriously injured in the crash, police said.
