A significant multi-vehicle collision involving transport trucks has forced the complete closure of Highway 11 in northern Ontario, creating major disruptions for travelers and commercial traffic.
Incident Details and Location
The serious crash occurred on November 15, 2025, along a critical stretch of Highway 11 between the junction of Highway 65 in New Liskeard and Highway 64 near Marten River. Ontario Provincial Police responded to the scene where multiple vehicles, including several commercial transport trucks, were involved in the collision.
Emergency services quickly established a perimeter around the accident site as they worked to assess the situation and provide necessary medical attention to those involved. The exact number of vehicles and the severity of injuries remain under investigation by authorities.
Police Response and Road Closure
Ontario Provincial Police have taken charge of the investigation and traffic management around the crash site. The complete closure of Highway 11 in both directions has created significant detours for motorists traveling through the region.
Police are advising drivers to avoid the area entirely and seek alternative routes until further notice. The closure affects a vital transportation corridor that connects numerous communities throughout northern Ontario, impacting both personal and commercial travel.
Ongoing Investigation and Community Impact
As of November 16, 2025, the highway remains closed while collision reconstruction experts work to determine the cause of the multi-vehicle incident. OPP investigators are examining all factors that may have contributed to the crash, including weather conditions, road surface quality, and driver behavior.
The closure has particularly affected the commercial trucking industry, as Highway 11 serves as a major freight route through northern Ontario. Local businesses and residents are experiencing delays in goods transportation and daily commutes until the thoroughfare reopens to traffic.
Authorities have not provided an estimated timeline for reopening the highway, noting that the complexity of the investigation and cleanup operation will determine when the road can safely resume normal operations.
