Images from the scene show a grey-coloured sedan located at the rear of a transport truck with severe damage to the roof.
“It drove directly behind the tractor-trailer and drove underneath the trailer,” Colley said. “With the rate of speed and the impact, it did some heavy-duty damage.”
Peel paramedics told Global News no one was transported to hospital.
There’s no word yet on the exact cause of the collision but police believe speed may have been a factor.
