Ontario storm cuts power to thousands

Winds gusting up to 90 km/h in Ontario have cut electricity to more than 100,000 people, downed trees, sent debris flying and toppled at least one construction crane, CTV News reports.

Meanwhile, the blizzard caused a series of collisions that lead to several pileups in Barrie Ont., forcing the closure of southbound lanes of Highway 400, according to Ontario Provincial Police.

OPP said around 6 p.m. that all lanes had reopened.

OPP Sgt. Peter Leon told CP24 that it was “one of the worst storms” he’s ever seen and called the driving conditions “treacherous.”

“It’s pretty much impassable on any surface that has any elevation at all,” he said.
