QEW re-opened after multi-car crash[/h]Siobhan Morris, 610 CKTB News

It looks like multi-vehicle crash that closed the Toronto-bound QEW in St. Catharines for most of the day was triggered by a falling stove.
It happened at 9:10am Thursday .
A witness who helped in the moments after the crash tells 610 CKTB News, a stove fell out of a trailer being pulled by a Buick approaching the Glendale Ave. overpass.
A Toyota stopped to shield the Buick in the center lane as a man tried to get the stove back onto the trailer. But the Toyota was broadsided by another car, pushing the Toyota into the trailer, pinning a man against it. A minivan also crashed into the right guardrail.
OPP Constable Ian Michel couldn't confirm it was the stove that triggered the crashes, saying only that the Buick stopped on the highway.
The driver of the Buick, a 54-year-old Niagara Falls man was airlifted to Hamilton General Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
4 other people were hurt & taken to local hospitals.
Police investigation on the scene left the section of highway closed until 2pm. All lanes of the QEW are now open through Glendale Ave.
