All along Highway 400 Sunday afternoon crashes mounted in a horrific chain of events that forced closures in both directions for hours and left an astounding total of more than 100 vechiles damaged in its wake.
Most of the carnage occurred between Highway 9 near Newmarket and Highway 89 at Cookstown.

The pile up is mainly being blamed on winter whiteout conditions, that left drivers blinded and resulted in a 100+ car pile up along Highway 400.
There were no life threatening injures reported but more than 50 people were taken to nearby hospitals.
