BURLINGTON, ON
The Halton Regional Police Service has laid two Highway Traffic Act charges against the driver involved in Wednesday’s single motor vehicle collision involving a pig truck in Burlington.
The 25 year-old male from Brunner, Ontario faces one count of Careless Driving and one administrative-related charge.
Pigs being let out of a truck that had rolled over at the intersection of Harvester Road and Appleby Line earlier this week.
Witnesses to the collision who have not yet provided statements to police are asked to contact the 3 District Uniform Staff Sergeant at 905-825-4747 ext. 2310.
Hours after the truck rolled over a large group of demonstrators had descended on the location. The police had to cut a hole into the side of the truck for the pigs to get out and for a period of time there was considerable chaos while the pig were rounded up and then, according to people at the site, were walked to the slaughterhouse.
It was not a pretty picture.
Of the reported 180 pigs in the truck 40 are reported to have died.
