Backing up on the 401 is never a good idea as a Brampton truck driver learned Friday.
The OPP tell us the 49 year old was driving his tractor trailer Westbound and missed his turn on to Puce Rd.
So, they tell us, he stopped and tried to back up.
The driver of a pickup couldn’t stop and slammed into the tractor trailer.
The driver and passenger were taken to the hospital, the passenger in serious condition.
The 401 Westbound lanes were closed for 4 hours.
The driver of the tractor trailer has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm.
