Environment Canada warned of strong winds today, and they weren’t kidding.

Early Wednesday afternoon, the Burlington Skyway was closed in both directions after those forecasted high winds rolled over a transport truck.

At this time, neither the driver’s condition nor any other injuries have yet to be released.

The Skyway’s closure happened just after noon local time, and there’s no word yet as to when it will reopen.
