The westbound lanes of Hwy. 401 have been closed in Ajax due to a police investigation.
Ontario Provincial Police said shortly before noon on Sunday that they were investigating a “sudden death” in the area.
The westbound lanes of the busy highway are closed between Salem and Westney roads as police investigate. The eastbound lanes of the highway are unaffected, OPP said.
It is not yet clear how long the closure may last.
Police did not immediately provide any further details about the incident.
