Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth comments on 70 car pileup near Ottawa, Ontario . The weather forecast for the drive home calls for overcast skies and light snow — quite different from the dense fog that contributed to the massive morning pileup which resulted in just four minor injuries, closed the 417 highway in both directions for several hours. The crash in the northbound lanes occurred in heavy fog just before 7:30 a.m. near the Bankfield Road/Brophy Drive overpass. It closed the northound lanes for nearly six hours. The southbound lanes were closed for several hours too as wrecking crews struggled to remove a jack-knifed tractor trailer from the median.

This serves as a reminder to all Ottawa area drivers-slow down and avoid accidents. It is often difficult to see the black ice beneath then snow. I am happy to hear that the 4 people were treated for minor injury. This slew of Ottawa accidents could have been much worse. Drive safely out there Ottawa, we have many more months of snow and ice coming our way !
