Southern Ontario hit by storm with snow, freezing rain and ice pellets
TORONTO — An ice storm pelting parts of southern Ontario has knocked out power to thousands of people and wreaked havoc on the roads.
A provincial police spokesman said more than 550 crashes had been reported in the Greater Toronto Area by late Saturday.
“We’ve got cars in the ditches, we’ve got cars on the concrete wall, we’ve got cars facing the wrong way,” Kerry Schmidt said. “We’ve got problems all over the place.”
Schmidt said most of the collisions were minor and there were no reports of fatalities.
