A 68-year-old truck driver is in critical condition following a rollover on a rural road in Uxbridge on Friday afternoon. The driver was heading south on Uxbridge Concession 3, near the Pickering-Uxbridge Townline, when his loaded Freightliner truck veered onto the soft shoulder. In an attempt to steer it back, the weight of the load caused the truck to overturn.
Emergency crews quickly responded, and the driver was rushed to a Toronto trauma center with life-threatening injuries. The Durham Regional Police Collision Investigation Unit investigated the scene, and the road was closed for several hours to gather evidence.
Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact D/Cst Lee at the DRPS Collision Investigation Unit.
