A portion of Highway 11 has been shut down in Orillia due to a multi-vehicle crash on Friday morning.
Orillia OPP noted that the southbound lane between Old Barrie Road and Coldwater Road was closed due to a collision.
OPP Central Region later announced that the northbound lane would also be shut down, with officers on the scene working to remove impacted vehicles from the roadway.
It’s unclear how many cars were involved and if any injuries were sustained.
The road closure is expected to be in place for much of Friday. OPP Central Region said motorists are asked to follow directions from emergency services and road closures.
“OPP remind all motorists that numerous surrounding roads are experiencing heavy call volume and other collisions.”
