Two people were taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries following a collision involving two commercial trucks on Highway 401 eastbound near Union Road in Middlesex County on Friday.
The crash occurred when a commercial vehicle struck the rear of a transport truck, trapping the driver and passenger inside. Firefighters extricated both occupants, who were then transported to hospital for treatment.
The driver of the transport truck suffered minor injuries and was assessed by paramedics at the scene.
The eastbound lanes of Highway 401 were closed for several hours as emergency crews responded and cleared the roadway. The highway has since reopened.
