A 51-year-old transport truck driver from Windsor, Ont., is facing charges under the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) after OPP say a truck drove the wrong way down Highway 402 on Thursday while the highway was closed due to weather.
Middlesex OPP say they received reports of a vehicle travelling eastbound in the westbound lanes of the closed highway around 9 a.m. in Adelaide Metcalfe Township.
“As officers arrived on scene, the transport was observed travelling in the proper direction after completing a multi-point turn after entering the highway from a westbound off-ramp,” police said in a statement.
A 51-year-old from Windsor faces one charge of driving on a closed highway and one count of driving the wrong way on a divided highway, both under the HTA.
The accused will appear in traffic court to speak to the charge, police said.
