Oversized load shuts down QEW in Grimsby

OPP officials have laid charges following an incident with an oversized truck load that caused traffic delays on the QE yesterday morning.

Toronto-bound lanes were forced closed at Bartlett Avenue in Grimsby after a truck carrying an oversized load was unable to fit under an overpass.

Police confirmed on social media later in the day the truck was able to back up and exit the highway at Maple Avenue.

An investigation ensued following the traffic slowdown, which resulted in officials laying charges against the driver and the trucking company.

They will be required to attend court to face charges of permit violations and interfering with traffic.
