Chaos on Dougall: Multi-Vehicle Crash Shuts Down Major Windsor Artery

If you’re planning on heading northbound on Dougall Avenue in Windsor this morning, I’ve got some news for you: you’ll definitely want to find another way. A pretty significant multi-vehicle crash has, unfortunately, led to the complete shutdown of those northbound lanes, and it’s creating quite a bit of a headache for commuters.

The incident, which involves several vehicles, happened right there near the critical intersection of Howard Avenue and the E.C. Row Expressway. You know, that area is already a busy spot on a normal day, so to have a major collision like this really snarls things up for anyone trying to navigate through that part of the city.

Windsor police were quick to confirm the closure, letting everyone know that northbound Dougall Avenue is simply impassable for now. Emergency crews, of course, are on the scene, working diligently. They’re not just clearing the wreckage; they’re also conducting their investigation, trying to figure out exactly what happened here. And that process, as you might imagine, takes a bit of time.

While the specifics – like how many cars were actually involved or if anyone sustained serious injuries – haven't been fully detailed by authorities yet, the very fact that a major artery like Dougall Avenue is completely closed speaks volumes about the seriousness of the situation. It’s not something they do lightly, that’s for sure.

For those of us trying to get around, this means patience is key. Expect some pretty substantial delays if you were planning to use that route. The best advice right now is to give the area a wide berth if you can, follow any posted detours, and really just be extra vigilant if you’re driving anywhere nearby. It's always a good reminder, isn't it, how quickly road conditions can change and why we all need to drive safely.
