Police: Tractor trailer driver on Highway 401 charged with impaired

A crash on Highway 401 has resulted in a tractor trailer driver being charged with impaired.

Grenville County OPP say officers responded to a tractor trailer in the ditch last around 7 p.m. Tuesday.

It happened on the westbound part of the highway near Augusta Township.

Police say the 39-year-old driver from Brampton blew approximately twice the legal limit and was charged with impaired driving.

They add that thankfully, no one was injured, and they are reminding you that impaired driving is never worth the risk.

The tractor trailer was left in the ditch overnight so it could be removed safely on Wednesday.
