The Queen Elizabeth Way has been fully reopened after a 54-year-old Simcoe man was struck and killed by a piece of scrap metal that

flew through his windshield this afternoon in the eastbound lanes, near the Hwy. 427 overpass.

"The million-dollar question is where did it come from," said OPP Staff-Sgt. Dave Woodford at the scene, just south of Sherway Gardens mall.

"It's five-eighths inches thick - about the size of a licence plate but thicker." He added that, at highway speeds,

the debris would have been flying "like a bullet." The metal struck the man in the head at 1:10 p.m., making a basketball-sized hole

in his windshield. The beige Oldsmobile continued along the left shoulder guardrail.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. At 6 p.m., as the investigation continued, his body remained in the vehicle,

which is surrounded by a police tent.

Police closed the eastbound QEW lanes into Toronto just beyond the Hwy. 427 overpass, creating long delays for rush-hour drivers.

The left shoulder and left lane of the westbound QEW was also closed from Hwy. 427 to Evans Ave.

Woodford said investigators believe the projectile - which is not part of a vehicle - may have fallen off a truck carrying scrap metal or

may have been kicked up from the highway by passing traffic. They have ruled out the possibility that somebody threw it from an overpass.

Investigators are canvassing nearby scrap-metal businesses, hoping to find the source of the deadly debris.
