Hwy. 410 north in Mississauga backed up after crash involving dump truck

Hwy. 410 northbound in Mississauga heading into Brampton has been mostly shut down this afternoon after a four-vehicle crash involving a dump truck.

According to reports from the scene, the dump truck ended up on its side in the ditch after colliding with several vehicles on the busy highway near Derry Rd.

OPP say the truck rolled over and was leaking oil or diesel fuel when they arrived on the scene.

Police say most of the northbound lanes are blocked, with only the HOV lane open to vehicles.
