(Updated) A deadly crash has closed two ramps on Hamilton’s Lincoln Alexander Parkway.

Dozens of police officers and firefighters are there along with officials from the ministry of transportation.
It looks as though fire crews have removed the man from inside the truck and the coroner is over talking with police and firefighters.

Other officers with the reconstruction unit are taking photos and measurements around the accident.

It happened at 6:30 this morning. Police say the truck was leaving the westbound lanes of the Linc on the Golf Links Rd exit when it went over the guardrail, crashing into the on ramp to the Lincoln Alexander west.

A heavy tow is on the ramp and they are going over a plan to remove the tractor-trailer. Again the ramps will remain closed for most of the day.
