Once they fully investigated, police ruled out drug or alcohol impairment, and it appears that driver confusion contributed to the driving actions.

The truck was towed and the driver was issued violation tickets under the Motor Vehicle Act for:

• Drive without due care and attention ($368 fine and 6 penalty points)
• Failure to stop for police ($144 fine and 3 penalty points)

There were no report of injuries or collisions due to this incident.

The driver was subsequently released pending further investigation and referrals to Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement branch and the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles.
