Ontario Provincial Police say a truck driver is facing careless driving charges after a rollover and fire on Highway 401 in Mississauga on Sunday.
The crash happened around 1 p.m. in the westbound lanes of the highway past Mississauga Road.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the truck crashed into a barrier in a construction zone and rolled over.
Schmidt said there was “massive damage” to the concrete wall.
The truck, which was filled with rolls of paper, also caught fire.
Schmidt said the highway is very narrow in some places near where the crash occurred.
The driver of the truck suffered only minor cuts.
It was later announced the driver was charged with careless driving.
Lanes closures in the immediate area were in place for several hours.
