All Toronto-bound lanes of the QEW have been reopened after emergency crews responded to a vehicle fire Tuesday morning, the OPP Highway Safety Division said.

All lanes were closed just before the Burlington Skyway shortly after 7 a.m. because of a collision involving two-passenger vehicles that resulted in a fire, police said.

At about 7:40 a.m., the OPP posted that one right lane of the highway was open.

At 7 a.m. police said there were no serious injuries as a result of the collision.
