A 60-year-old man from Cambridge has been charged with careless driving following a collision that disrupted traffic on the northbound Highway 404, early Monday morning.
Authorities say the driver was in flatbed truck loaded with cargo when it crashed into a passenger vehicle that was slowing down due to a police investigation on the right shoulder at approximately 7:00 a.m.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said “the driver did not see the traffic slowing down.” They attempted to avoid the collision, but ended up clipping the other car.
Both vehicles rolled over and ended up in a ditch. However, no injuries were reported.
Schmidt says the accident was “completely preventable” and “occurred because of inattention, probably distraction.”
The northbound 404 is closed at Aurora Road/Wellington Street for more than several hours while crews worked to free the vehicles from the ditch and clean up debris.
Roads reopened around 11:00 a.m.
