Police say two men were killed when a car drove the wrong way on Highway 401 early this morning in Ajax.

Police say a Mazda Tribute SUV driven by a 25-year-old Ajax man was heading west on the eastbound 401 when it slammed into a Mazda 3 driven by a 33-year-old Oshawa man at about 2:30 a.m. A Chevy Cruze following behind the Mazda 3 then clipped the vehicles after the initial crash.

The Mazdas were heavily damaged, and drivers in both were pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the driver of the Cruze had minor injuries.
