Nearly 100 vehicles were involved in a massive pileup that occurred as a fierce snow squall created whiteout conditions on a busy highway south of Barrie on Thursday morning.
Ontario Provincial Police spokesman Sgt. Dave Woodford said officers counted 96 vehicles after the chain-reaction crash occurred in Highway 400's southbound lanes, north of Innisfil Beach Road, at about 9 a.m.
In a scene that mirrored a demolition derby, severely-damaged cars were sandwiched between tractor-trailers and others were spun around and slammed against the snow-covered highway's barrier.
