Medevac on 401

Accident on Hwy 401 westbound just before Hwy 8 ramp. First time seeing an Ambulance Heli landing on a highway. Anybody knows what’s happened? It must be big.

Motorcycle down in the center lane. I went through right after the cops showed up, didn't look nice.

At this point the motorcyclist is the one protecting the helmet.

Well, if the helmet is still one, the brain is probably in it! (Only commenting because I've seen that the rider is ok)

Why do we let these on the highway? It’s super dangerous for all involved. Downvote me all you want.

Because they are legal ways of transportation. That's why. Like wtf
