No point getting on the road today to further contribute to the mayhem on GTA roads, there was a 30 car pile up on QEW this morning, amongst many other accidents.

Road conditions were poor throughout the city and on major highways. Early Saturday afternoon, an Ontario Provincial Police Twitter account said police were receiving approximately 50 accident reports each hour.
Later in the day, the OPP said that two people had died following a two vehicle collision north of Barrie. While the exact cause of the crash has not yet been determined, police said that road conditions were poor.
Another crash on Saturday morning involved as many as 30 vehicles on the westbound QEW between Erin Mills Parkway and Winston Churchill Boulevard in Mississauga.
Both the OPP and the Toronto Police are advising motorists to drive slowly and leave plenty of room between vehicles.
OPP Sgt. Dave Woodford told CTV News Channel that in 31 years on the job, he hadn’t seen so many accidents on a single day.
“I haven’t seen this kind of traffic, the number of collisions that I’ve seen today. All day long, it was just continuous,” he said. “This was right across the GTA … collision after collision.”
Woodford said most of the accidents involved single vehicles ending up in ditches. He said many people are not driving due to the conditions.
