A rollover crash involving a semi-truck was caught on film this week leading to charges against a Brampton trucker.
On Monday afternoon, the OPP Highway Safety Patrol responded to a rollover collision on Highway 401 at James Snow Parkway.
Two separate dashcam videos of the crash show a tractor trailer exiting onto the eastbound 401 before tipping over onto its side and sliding into oncoming traffic.
A car and another semi-truck narrowly avoid the overturned truck while another semi crashes into the rear of the trailer.
This is how fast you can go from a good day to a mess. The driver of the truck that rolled – a 47 year old from Brampton was taken to hospital with only minor injuries. He is now charged with careless driving. The driver of the truck with the dash cam was shaken up but not hurt. pic.twitter.com/LXfNJUxQl3
