I witnessed families with small children and babies running out of gas and having no food water or heat for their children. People were walking around on the highway. The traffic congestion was handled very poorly by authorities and it surprised me when we finally got moving and to the Newtonville exit there was not one single police officer directing any traffic. To me they should have had officers on snow mobiles checking on the thousands of people stranded in the cold weather on the 401. If this is an example of what it might be like in an evacuation I don't want to be there. </p>MAZ commented on 'Editor's Choice Pictures of the Day - Scene of Multi-Vehicle Crash on 401 - January 25, 2013'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef017c364973aa970b2013-01-26T18:34:33Z2013-01-26T18:34:33ZMAZHorrific photos - as a comment only - they look like a clash of the titans<p>Horrific photos - as a comment only - they look like a clash of the titans</p>Richard commented on 'Editor's Choice Pictures of the Day - Scene of Multi-Vehicle Crash on 401 - January 25, 2013'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef017d40782fbb970c2013-01-26T17:24:33Z2013-01-26T17:24:33ZRichardMy wife was hit in the summer of 2010 by an unattentive truck driver on the 401, air flown to...<p>My wife was hit in the summer of 2010 by an unattentive truck driver on the 401, air flown to St. Mike's and survived, to this day she has not driven again due to injuries, and we're still fighting with insurance companies, with the courts to bogged down from all the other people fighting their insurance companies to be much help...I feel for all the people here...just because the highway gets cleared up and traffic starts flowing again doesn't mean it's over for all the people involved...no matter the reason it happened...good luck with your journeys thru your recoveries.

I think the west bound drivers had roads that weren't too bad, then very suddenly came into bad conditions. East bound was traveling at about 50km / hr if that as they had bad roads for a long time. It was a horrific scene - I'm amazed there weren't more injures. My thoughts are with the seriously injured. </p>Mtan commented on 'Editor's Choice Pictures of the Day - Scene of Multi-Vehicle Crash on 401 - January 25, 2013'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef017d40738f19970c2013-01-26T01:58:32Z2013-01-26T06:42:16ZMtanHorrible, Hope these guys will be fine and back to work in next few days, Highway Snow cleanup team needs...<p>Horrible, Hope these guys will be fine and back to work in next few days, <br />
Highway Snow cleanup team needs to be more Active all time, as these Snowy days comes just once and twice in GTA, and these Major Accidents can be avoided, Just check with Manitoba High Guys, how they are maintaining the things in Very Bad weather.

If someone slides and crashes, nobody knows this until its too late. Then you try and slow down and you end up sliding and crashing. Then the person behind you does the same thing. Cant prevent what you cant see. But we all need to slow down when these conditions are present.</p>Michael commented on 'Editor's Choice Pictures of the Day - Scene of Multi-Vehicle Crash on 401 - January 25, 2013'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef017ee7e791e7970d2013-01-26T01:12:49Z2013-01-26T06:42:16ZMichaelProblem is so many people have SUVs with 4 wheel drive that they assume they can do whatever they want...<p>Problem is so many people have SUVs with 4 wheel drive that they assume they can do whatever they want in any weather.
