A woman who allegedly caused an accident on Toronto’s Don Valley Pkwy. made the commute a lot more frustrating for those stuck on the highway.

The incident happened on Wednesday afternoon in the southbound lanes of the DVP at Queen St. E., just after 2:30 p.m. so before the highway traffic can get really bad.

But the accident did that for motorists, blocking both lanes and effectively shutting down traffic trying to get into the downtown core.

Emergency crews responded to the collision — but it was no ordinary crash. This one involved a woman running around the highway barefoot and allegedly intoxicated.

Baffled witnesses took to the social media site X (formerly Twitter) to share their experiences.

“Quite the drama under Queen as woman causes accident,” former Metrolinx spokesperson and media strategist Anne Marie Aikins said.
