Tractor-trailer driver in custody after fleeing OPP
October 31st, 2011
The male driver of a stolen tractor-trailer is in custody after leading Ontario Provincial Police officers on a chase across a wide swath of southern Ontario for several hours Monday.
The hours-long incident came to a peaceful end when the driver pulled over to the right side of the QEW’s Toronto-bound lanes near Fairview Street in Burlington, just north of the Burlington Skyway, at about 1:20 p.m.
Once the vehicle came to a stop, officers who were following the tractor-trailer surrounded the vehicle and arrested the driver on the side of the highway.
A photo provided by a CP24 viewer shows the driver walking towards police officers, whose guns are drawn and pointed towards the man, with his hands raised in the air.
