A three-vehicle crash closed all lanes of Highway 400 northbound in Vaughan for part of Tuesday morning's rush hour, the OPP said.

As of 8 a.m., the highway had mostly reopened except for the right lane where clean up efforts continued.

The collision happened around 10:30 p.m. Monday north of Teston Road.

A crossover vehicle hit an SUV, causing the SUV to rear-end a tractor trailer, according to police.

The driver and a passenger in the SUV were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The passenger, a 64-year-old man, remains in critical condition, police said in an update.

The Aurora OPP detachment is investigating the crash. Anyone with information or dashcam video is asked to contact police.

They listened as the 58-year-old chief executive described a deteriorating financial situation that he put down largely to weak sales and profitability in North America and China, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. In the Q&A, some of the few hundred managers peppered Uchida with questions about responsibility for the decline of a company that five years ago had the world's top EV model by lifetime sales.
