As many as six vehicles were involved in a collision on a section of the southbound Don Valley Parkway (DVP) Tuesday morning, likely due to black ice caused by unusually frigid April temperatures.
Toronto police received reports of a six-vehicle crash on the southbound DVP at Eastern Avenue just before 5:30 a.m.
Paramedics tell CityNews that the vehicles likely spun out on the road due to black ice that formed in the area. First responders are on scene, and no injuries have been reported.
Southbound DVP is closed at the Bayview and Bloor on ramps. Vehicles are being diverted to Richmond Street, and motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.
Police responded to a separate multi-vehicle crash on the Gardiner Expressway East at York Street at around the same time on Tuesday morning.
Three cars were involved in that collision, and no injuries were reported. Delays in the area are expected.
Toronto could see one of its coldest April days on record Tuesday, with morning temperatures at -6 C and a wind chill of -15.
