It is not the first time that an unauthorized vehicle has entered the tunnel.
In January 2020, a driver followed a TTC streetcar into the tunnel, making it all the way to Union Station before getting stuck.
In October 2018, gates were installed to prevent such driving mistakes, which by then had happened 25 times since 2014.
In February 2017, a motorist who drove into the tunnel and got stuck said he was simply “following his GPS.” The man received a $425 fine.
The latest incident added to what has been a chaotic week for commuters in the downtown core.
A train derailment on Monday led to service disruptions.
