QEW westbound ramp to Brant Street in Burlington, Ont. closed due to police investigation

The Queen Elizabeth Way westbound ramp to Brant Street will be closed for several hours due to an investigation, police said Monday morning.

In a video posted to X, Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating an incident that happened at the Burlington, Ont. location.

Schmidt did not say what led to the closure. Photos from the scene on Monday morning appear to show police examining a flipped over pick-up truck.

The SIU investigates incidents involving police officers, special constables of the Niagara Parks Commission or peace officers that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault or a weapon being fired at someone.

CBC Hamilton requested comment from the SIU but did not receive a response before publication.

Schmidt said drivers can expect heavy delays on the highway approaching Brant Street.
