Three Durham collision closures affected roads in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax on Friday, September 18, according to police updates summarized by Durham Post.
The incidents were separate. Police reopened the affected Oshawa and Whitby roads after their investigations, while the Ajax notice said there was no broader public-safety concern.
Conlin Road reopened in Oshawa
Westbound Conlin Road was closed at Simcoe Street North while Durham Regional Police investigated a collision. Police later reported that the road had reopened.
No injury information or charges were included in the traffic update. A road closure for an investigation does not by itself establish fault.
Brock Street lanes closed in Whitby
Southbound Brock Street was closed south of Rossland Road in Whitby for a collision investigation. Drivers were asked to use another route until the lanes reopened.
The notice did not provide details about the vehicles involved or the condition of anyone at the scene.
Ajax school pickup redirected
Police closed the area around Elliotglen Drive and Gillet Drive in Ajax for an investigation. Parents collecting students from Michaëlle Jean Public School were directed to use the south side of the school.
Police said there were no public-safety concerns. The source report did not describe it as a collision, so it should not be assumed that the Ajax closure involved the same type of incident.
Because all three alerts related to Friday conditions, drivers should rely on current traffic channels for live road status rather than treating the earlier closures as active.
