A truck rollover on the QEW has caused chaos along the Mississauga stretch of the highway this afternoon.
The dump truck struck a sound barrier wall, knocking it down, around 2 p.m. on Thursday (June 23), OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said.
“We currently have only one lane getting by on the Fort Erie bound side of the QEW,” Schmidt said around 5 p.m.
