A multi-vehicle collision on the Burlington Skyway path of the QEW this afternoon (May 22) has closed all Toronto-bound lanes.

Emergency crews are on the scene as there are reports that several of the vehicles were on fire.
It is not known if there are any serious injuries.
Traffic is being diverted away from the QEW and reports say that several traffic jams are now reported along adjacent roads in Hamilton and Burlington.
The OPP has said it may take several hours for the accident scene to be cleared and is telling motorists to avoid the area or face long delays.
