Sanchuk says this caused the truck to go through a retaining wall and end up in someone’s backyard.
However, the driver was able to walk away from the crash with only minor injuries.
One westbound lane of Highway 403 has been closed near King George Road for cleanup.
Police are asking people not to rubberneck or stop and take pictures so that crews responding to the scene can do their job.
