Trucker Facing Impaired Driving Charges

Impaired driving charges have been laid against a transport driver after a police chase along the 401. opp-2-375x420-1

Elgin OPP received a complaint shortly after 12:30 yesterday afternoon about a tractor trailer weaving in and out of its lane on the eastbound 401 near Dutton.

When the driver refused to stop for one officer, several other units were called in to assist.

Authorities shut down access to the highway in London and set up what’s called a moving containment, bringing the rig to a stop just past the Colonel Talbot exit.

The highway was closed for a short time as officers took the driver into custody – police say further charges are possible.
