Charges have been laid after a transport lost some of its wheels on the 401.
Just after 2 o’clock last Friday morning, Elgin OPP officers responded to a traffic hazard in the eastbound lanes.
Authorities say it seems a transport from Windsor lost a dual set of wheels form the rear axle of the trailer. The tires came to reset in the south ditch.
The truck’s driver, a 62-year-old from North York is facing several charges, including unsafe operation of a vehicle, failing to enter defects in a daily inspection report, and driving a commercial vehicle with a major defect.
