Highway conditions back to normal Wednesday
A 27-year-old truck driver from Quebec has been charged with careless driving following a three-truck collision that shut down the westbound lanes of Highway 402 near the Blue Water Bridge Tuesday morning.
The man was behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer that rear-ended a row of stopped trucks waiting to cross into the U.S., according to provincial police.
The highway was closed for much of the day as crews worked to clear debris from the road, but traffic conditions were back to normal Wednesday morning.
The collision marks the second time in less than a week that multiple trucks have crashed on Highway 402 while waiting to cross the bridge.
Alabama truck driver Dannie Faulk, 61, was killed on July 19 after a tractor-trailer smashed into the back of a stopped truck.
