Highway 89 Chaos: Trailer Launch into OPP Cruiser

0:00It's April 2nd, I'm Cory with the story. This is Vancouver News today, driven by AI. Ontario Provincial Police shut down a stretch of Highway 89 Thursday morning after a wild chain reaction crash around 7.30 a.m. between Harrison and Mount Forest. Two pickup trucks sides wiped each other while heading opposite ways, sparking the whole mess. One truck was hauling a flatbed trailer that broke free and got launched right into an OPP cruiser, parked for an unrelated traffic stop. That turned a simple side swipe into major chaos on the road. Luckily, no one got hurt. All good news there, with drivers and officers walking away unscathed. But the damage hit both pickups, the trailer, and the cruiser pretty hard. Cops closed northbound and southbound lanes between those towns, and they're warning about backups on nearby spots like mental line 12, 10th line, and Wellington Road 2. Officers are clearing it up fast to get traffic flowing again.
