A 50+ car pileup on Highway 402 has caused the closure of the entire highway from London to Sarnia as a winter blast continues to cripple the region, OPP said early Friday afternoon.

lets go driving in a blizzard
i drove about 2 km this morning to get coffee and i told my self anyone who drives farther in this crap is a fool today
@jack the ripper All the more fool you…..that’s such an unhealthy way to live not to mention expensive!
@jack the ripper
no obesity or life style related health issues?
@Prometheus
in canada weather, road, or the vehicle are not considered a factor in case of an accident
it is always the driver’s full or partial fault
@GDName
wise and cozy decision
@Ray Hann I have no clue who you have that pointed towards me no you ?
Congrats to all involved, Honorary Darwin Awards “unlocked” ! ! ! Days of warning, from every conceivable source of information, was apparently not enough to elicit a greater sense of self-preservation with regards to driving in such dangerous conditions.
@biggie thecat Working class heros
It doesn’t seem like they are Christmas shopping @Ag Miner…. Businesses are on the verge of bankruptcy. I went in to work today because missing a day of business means we fall even further behind on the bills.
If only they didn’t fire a bunch of snow plow drivers for not wanting flavoured water/blood clotting agents injected into them.
Sometimes you have no choice but to be out. There are many reasosn, but some reasons are probably lame lol
@biggie thecat True. And I’m one of them. That’s why I save a little bit of each pay cheque for “snow days” and “sick days” because I pay my own way. Unlike our illustrious PM I don’t take vacations or “personal” days on the taxpayers dime.
@Jacob Wood I went to work today, too. Everyone else is on vacation, working from home, or sick. Fun times, but I still went to work. Must be nice, to get “snow days” on the taxpayers dime.
GREAT VIEW BUD I SEE ZERO CARS PILED UP LOL…
That was my thought hahah all I see are emergency vehicles parked in a line lol
When there’s no real emergency then they create one to use there emergency act.🤔😜🤫
And no winter tire 😢
Isn’t winter tires a norm in Ontario
@Asgard👑 no. But here in quebec it’s mandatory to install winter tires before dec 1st.
Let me see most of the trucks are from Peel region…. what’s the chances?
drivers all wearing turbans?!!?
The pajamas & flip flop gang.
Lol!!! this is the norm here in Saskatchewan and Alberta
Freezing rain…. ✅️
Heavy snow…. ✅️
Cold as hell .. ✅️
It’s called winter!!!..
Today’s forecast for the prairies….. with wind -40 to -50, plus snow. Oh, I forgot minimal visibility on some parts of highway with added icy conditions.
I think you all need to come to the prairies for a couple of days, then you will appreciate what you have there…lol
It’s why no one lives there
There is a reason Ontario is more expensive I guess.
Alllll so so true
Yeah i haul logs in this weather lol, but we in Saskatchewan drive on snow/ice 6 months of the year lol
Canada is awesome.
Hopefully it’s all new trucks no preemmisions gems
10-4 👍
My right ear agrees.
A seasonal occurrence!
Punjabi style…..pun pun pun punjabi style😝😝🤪😂🤣🤣😅😁😁
1 truck 49 cars stopped
Ouch!
Don’t forget to get your Trudeau toilet paper! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
The high score is now 50
Obstacle avoidance radar, lane departure warning advanced electronic traction control, electronically shifted automatic transmission, brain dead driver. What do you expect?
Harpreet needs to slow down while on the phone with his wife minprin
402 is always so bad in the winter.
Drive it everyday, it can be bad, but drive according to conditions and “not be in a hurry” will work 99% of the time. Theres always the aggressive drivers potentially putting everyone else at risk.
Nobody should have been on the 402 today.
