A section of Canada's busiest highway has reopened after an early morning closure.
Ontario Provincial Police closed Highway 401 Eastbound between Gananoque and just west of Brockville for four hours following a series of overnight collisions.
In one crash, a tractor trailer was blocking the eastbound lanes just after County Road 2 in Lansdowne.
A Freezing Rain Warning was issued overnight for Ottawa and eastern Ontario. Freezing rain fell on parts of the region for several hours before changing to rain.
UPDATE: ROAD CLOSURE: #Hwy401 EB lanes remain CLOSED from #Hwy32 #Gananoque to 1000 Islands Pkwy #Mallorytown #Lyn - due to multiple collisions. Reopening time unknown. ^ag pic.twitter.com/f4PBSZsnpU
