The southbound lanes of Hwy. 410 at Derry Rd. in Mississauga will be closed for several hours following a fatality, the OPP said Friday morning.

The OPP said earlier that there was a vehicle fire on Highway 410, but police have not released details about the cause of the death.

The SIU has invoked their mandate, according to Peel police.

The Hwy. 410 southbound ramp from Steeles Ave. was closed for the investigation. All main arteries southbound to Hwy. 410 are being redirected. Eastbound and westbound traffic on Derry Rd. is also being redirected.

Correction - September 6, 2019: The headline was edited from a previous version that mistakenly said the closure is on Highway 401.
