At approximately 2:45 a.m. on October 9, 2026, a fire involving a tractor‑trailer led to the shutdown of the southbound ramp that connects Highway 400 to westbound Highway 401 in Toronto. Ontario Provincial Police and fire crews responded after the driver detached the cab from the burning trailer.
The closed ramp, a key link between two of the province’s busiest highways, caused disruption to commuter traffic while the blaze was extinguished.
