A passenger van was traveling westbound on Highway 637 when the driver was momentarily distracted due to fatigue. The vehicle hit the shoulder, rolled over and came to rest on its wheels. The single occupant of the vehicle was not injured.
Alcohol, road, and environmental conditions were not a factor in this collision.
As a result of the investigation, Neil WALKER, 25 years of age from Brampton was charged with Careless Driving contrary to section 130 of the Highway Traffic Act (HTA).
