One Person Sent to Hospital After Three-Car Crash on 403 in Mississauga

One person ended up in hospital after a three-vehicle collision on the 403 in Mississauga.

According to OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt, the afternoon collision prompted the closure of every lane except for the far-left HOV lane. 

The collision occurred on the westbound side of the highway, west of Mavis. 

The incident involved two vehicles and a transport truck. The crash left debris on the highway, and also prompted a diesel fuel leak. 

“I can smell the diesel all through the air here,” Schmidt said in a video taken at the scene. 

While one person was transported to hospital, Schmidt said the injuries sustained in the collision did not appear to be serious. 

Drivers were advised to avoid the area during the significant clean up.
