Truck rolls over on highway + time for summer tires?

A lane of Highway 412 southbound to Highway 401 in Whitby was blocked for several hours yesterday after a concrete truck rolled  over, according to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

There was a rollover southbound on Highway 412 and Taunton Road, said the OPP Highway Safety Division.

It said a cement truck travelling northbound blew out a front tire resulting in the concrete truck rolling over into the southbound lanes.

One right lane was blocked for several more hours for cleanup.

Police reported minor injuries.

Time For Summer Tires?

If you are changing to your summer tires this weekend, do it properly and ensure the wheels are flush against the hub and all the wheel nuts are tight and retorqued.

This is a wheel failure waiting to happen, said the OPP Highway Safety Division while posting the video below.
