Eight-vehicle crash on QEW in Oakville

A multi-vehicle crash early Wednesday evening (July 17) is causing big traffic delays in both directions on the QEW in Oakville.

Reports say the crash, which involved six to eight vehicles, occurred around 6:30 p.m. on the westbound QEW between Bronte Road and Burloak Road. One vehicle had rolled over on its roof.

Traffic has come to a snarl on the westbound QEW as both Oakville firefighters, police and other emergency crews are on the scene.
