A three-vehicle crash involving an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser has created major delays for people commuting home, blocking several westbound lanes on the QEW near Bronte Road in Oakville, for most of Thursday afternoon.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt tells 680 NEWS it happened just before 1 p.m. Thursday.
Schmidt says the cruiser rear-ended another vehicle with three occupants, causing it to hit a third car. Four people, including an officer, were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
