A video appears to capture a car flying off an overpass near Toronto Pearson Airport on the weekend.
On Sunday, Feb. 1 at approximately 6.55 p.m., a vehicle travelling southbound on Highway 427 flipped and landed on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 at Eglinton Avenue in Toronto, the Ontario Provincial Police said in a press release.
A video posted on social media appears to show the crash. An OPP spokesperson couldn’t confirm the video’s authenticity.

The OPP said that the vehicle was travelling on the southbound lanes on Highway 427, and it’s believed it suddenly struck the right side of the overpass to Highway 401.
The vehicle then “ramped up” and over the concrete barrier and, upon landing, collided with a transport truck on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 before finally landing on its roof near the Eglinton Avenue exit on the highway, police said.
Two people were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police added.
Police suggest speed and snow may have been contributing factors in the collision.
All eastbound express and collectors lanes on Highway 401 were closed at Highway 403 for investigation.
Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has dashcam footage from the area at the time of the incident is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. To remain anonymous, tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online.
