The driver of a pickup truck was taken to hospital after a single-vehicle crash east of Kingston Wednesday morning.

Ontario Provincial Police were called to the westbound lanes of Highway 401, east of the Thousand Islands Parkway, around 10:30 a.m.

Police said the driver was traveling eastbound when he lost control of the vehicle, crossed the center reservation and entered the westbound lanes and struck a tree before catching fire.

The road was closed in both directions for approximately two hours while firefighters brought the fire under control.

The driver, who was alone in the vehicle, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

All lanes of the highway were reopened at 1 p.m.
