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, formerly Twitter, Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating an incident at the Burlington 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 pickup truck.

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