A driver has been charged with careless driving after police say their actions led to a three-vehicle crash on Highway 400 early Tuesday. 

In a video posted to X, an OPP officer said a 41-year-old driver was charged with careless driving after cutting in front of the southbound transport truck.

Police say the driver failed to pay attention when making a lane change, causing the transport truck to collide with the vehicle. 

The transport truck went through the centre median, striking a dump truck travelling on the northbound side of the highway. 

The transport truck then ended up in the woods on the northbound side of the highway.
