All lanes of Hwy 401 re-open after fatal truck crash near Bowmanville

Drivers passing through Bowmanville endured a lengthy rush hour commute as crews worked to clear the roadway after a fatal collision earlier Monday.

All lanes of Highway 401 were re-opened around 7 p.m., hours after a dump truck crashed near the Liberty Street exit.

D-Jay Allen Bartlett, 32, of Oshawa, was killed when a flat tire caused him to lose control of the vehicle, said OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt. The truck struck the centre median and burst into flames.
