The calls started coming into our traffic centre around 10:30 AM, saying a pick up truck caught fire on the left shoulder.
For a while, only the two left lanes were closed for cleanup, but have since re-opened. The westbound 401 was jammed from Hurontario Street to just west of the Trafalgar overpass for several hours.
No word yet what caused the fire, or if anyone was injured.
