An Ontario Driver Fled A Crash Site On Highway 401 & Drove Right Into A Police Cruiser
Oh, wow.
An Ontario driver is no doubt rethinking his life choices since causing two crashes on Highway 401 this morning after attempting to flee the scene.
According to OPP Highway Safety Division, a 36-year-old motorist was stopped and charged after allegedly crashing into a Toronto OPP vehicle near Warden Avenue while fleeing a similar incident on Keele Street on Wednesday morning.

This is one of many accidents to happen on GTA roads this week, and the recent barrage of wintry weather has only made driving conditions worse.
Another impaired driver managed to get his car between two safety barriers at an on/off-highway ramp near Dixon Road early Monday morning.
