\"\"<\/a>OPP Northeastern Region has tweeted (9:02 a.m.) that Hwy 17 between Pinewood Drive Wawa and Heyden remains closed at this time. “All lanes remain closed in both directions due to a collision.” It does appear from the ON511 camera at Heyden that there is no barricade in place, nor OPP officers manning it. There is a fine if you are caught travelling on a closed highway. “The total payable fine for driving on a closed highway is $110<\/b> and upon conviction, three demerit points will be added to your driving record.”, SSM OPP in 2017.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Wawa-news has been told that the closure is a result of a collision between a car and a commercial motor vehicle. There was no information regarding injuries.<\/p>\n
