Driver charged following Hwy 402 crash

Lambton OPP have charged a 30-year-old Brampton driver with careless driving following a crash earlier this week on the Highway 402 approach to the Blue Water Bridge.

Police, Sarnia Fire and Rescue and Lambton EMS responded to the westbound lanes, just west of Indian Road at around 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Officers determined the crash involved multiple commercial vehicles, some of which were stopped waiting to cross the international span.

One driver was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The highway was closed or reduced to one lane for close to 12 hours as the vehicles were removed and the road was cleared of debris.

The OPP is reminding drivers to pay attention to traffic and road conditions, and ensure driving is their main focus.

Anyone who suspects a driver is distracted or who sees a vehicle operating in an erratic manner is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or 9-1-1.
