Earlier today a 100-car pile-up formed just south of Barrie in Central Ontario, Canada, on Highway 400 and the resulting pictures look absolutely apocalyptic…
Driving conditions were hampered by a severe snowstorm south of the city of Barrie earlier today, but luckily, there have been no reports of any major injuries following a massive 100-car pile-up.

According to the Toronto Star: ‘the highway’s guardrail has been cut to allow emergency vehicles to get to the scene’ and that ‘warming buses have been set up for motorists whose cars run out of gas.’
