Whiteout conditions cause 4 multi-vehicle pileups in Ontario, Canada
Whiteout conditions on Highway 400 between Highway 89 and Mapleview Drive near Barrie, Ontario caused a major multi-vehicle pileup around 10:00 local time on February 25, 2019. The highway was reopened several hours after the crash and only minor injuries have been reported. Three other pileups took place in the province on the same day, one resulted in several serious injuries.
A major accident took place during zero visibility approximately 100 km (62 miles) north of Toronto, Canada, involving more than 70 vehicles.
"We have zero visibility… snow and blowing snow," Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt reported immediately after the accident, urging all other drives to stay away. "The collisions that were involved were fender benders piling into one another to the other to the other," Schmidt said.
