A 24-year-old truck driver has been charged for hitting and bringing down an overhead sign on Highway 401, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said.

On the morning of Jan. 6, OPP Sergeant Kerry Schmidt said the Whitby police were investigating an overhead sign collapse that blocked all lanes on the westbound side of Highway 401 near Brock Street, causing “heavy delays” to traffic.
