Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he was not injured when his vehicle was involved in a collision on Highway 401 after leaving an event earlier on Wednesday.

Ford said his vehicle was driving on the highway after leaving a news event at Darlington Nuclear Generating Station when it was “sideswiped” by another vehicle.

The premier’s office said Ford, his staff and the Ontario Provincial Police officers in his vehicle were all safe. The driver of the other vehicle reportedly sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

“We were just driving straight, next thing you know we got hammered — just hammered,” Ford said during a brief media appearance at Queen’s Park.

The crash took place in the westbound lanes of Highway 401 near Brock Road in Pickering, Ont. at around 12:30 p.m., OPP said.
