Two people are dead after a horrific crash on the 401 in Ajax Wednesday morning.
Shortly after 6:00am, police responded to reports of an eight vehicle pileup in the eastbound lanes near Westney Road.
One vehicle, an SUV, was found wedged between two tractor trailers, while a pickup truck had slammed into the back of one of the transports.
Firefighters worked to rescue the SUV driver but they were pronounced dead at the scene.
The pickup truck driver was rushed to hospital with life threatening injuries but died a short time later.
All lanes of the highway were closed until approximately 3:00pm while police investigated the cause of the crash. Three right lanes remained closed into the afternoon rush.
