Multiple accidents close sections of Highway 402

March 26, 2025

An accident near the Bluewater Bridge and poor weather in Middlesex County is making driving on major highways difficult today.

Lambton OPP closed the 402 between Indian Road and Christina Street after a collision in the westbound lanes between two transports around 3 am.

Two people from one of the transports were taken to hospital with what police say are non-life threatening injures.

And if you’re headed east toward London today, there are a bunch of accidents ahead. Snow in the region has made roads slick causing a number of cars to skid off the highway.

There is an eight vehicle accident at the junction of the 402 and the 401. Traffic there is at a stand still.

And traffic is also backed up at Woodstock where a transport jackknifed at the exit to Highway 403.

OPP are pleading with drivers to slow down particularly in the regions where snow is falling.
