Provincial police say the southbound lanes of Highway 400 in the Bradford could reopen by 5 p.m., Friday, following a serious crash earlier this afternoon.
The two-vehicle collision closed both sides of Highway 400 on April 21. The northbound lanes are now open, but southbound lanes remain blocked at Highway 89.
At least one person has been airlifted to a trauma centre following the crash, south of Highway 89. One person was rushed to a trauma centre after being ejected from a vehicle that flipped, according to Ontario Provincial Police.

Shortly before 1:30 p.m., the southbound lanes remained closed at Highway 89, but northbound lanes had reopened.
In a video posted to Twitter just after noon on Friday, OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt, who is with the Highway Safety Division, noted Aurora OPP officers were on the scene and that all southbound lanes were being forced off at Highway 89.
The sergeant said motorists should expect “heavy delays and detours in place."
Drivers are able to get back on the 400 at the Highway 88 on-ramp, he said.
“Currently, two vehicles involved in the collision — one vehicle rolled over several times,” he noted in a video posted to Twitter.
