The Don Valley Parkway (DVP) has reopened after a partial closure that created significant delays for commuters following a crash that sent two adults to hospital Wednesday afternoon.

Toronto police responded to reports of a car hitting a wall on the southbound stretch of the DVP near York Mills Road around 12:40 p.m., according to a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Toronto paramedics said they transported one man and one woman, both with life-threatening injuries, to hospital. One person was extracted by Toronto Fire, police said.

Before the DVP re-opened, police said commuters should expect significant delays.

Southbound lanes on the DVP from Highway 401 to York Mills Road were closed and inaccessible as police investigated. Drivers on Highway 404's southbound lanes had to exit using the Highway 401's east or west lanes, police said.
