The Toronto-bound lanes of the QEW at the Burlington Skyway will be closed for part of the weekend for a construction project.

OPP officers were alerted by several drivers that a westbound truck was moving erratically along the road and hit the Walker's Line overpass.

“This boy has been a good, well-behaved boy. He’s obedient, he’s mild-mannered, he talks respectfully to everybody — anybody’s who met him. You know, it’s just unbelievable.”

Halton police say they had to shoot the driver with a stun gun as he made a second attempt to evade arrest.

Detectives say they began a probe into alleged drug activity in June around a number of local hotels in the area of the QEW and Centennial Parkway North.

OPP say the crash closed three lanes of the westbound QEW on May 26.

The Halton Regional Police Service describes it as "an extremely dangerous and irresponsible act."

"I'm pretty much speechless on this one," OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said.

Ontario Provincial Police say the chase on the Queen Elizabeth Way went on for some time, taking officers through Burlington and Hamilton, Ont.

Emergency crews were called to the Niagara-bound lanes of the QEW near Ontario Street at around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday.
