Niagara bound lanes of the QEW are closed at Northshore/Eastport exit, along with two Toronto-bound lanes because of a fiery collision.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said a transport truck on the Toronto-bound side hit another vehicle, which crashed into the concrete median and burst into flames.
"There was a child and some adults in this vehicle," he said. "They all escaped the vehicle without any serious injuries, which is very fortunate."
