Officers from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Caledon Detachment have charged a commercial vehicle driver when his vehicle became stuck in hairpin curve in Caledon.
On Friday, July 24, 2026, members of the Caledon Detachment were called to Forks of The Credit Road for an eastbound commercial motor vehicle that unsuccessfully attempted to maneuver around a tight hairpin turn on the scenic road. The truck and trailer became wedged into the guiderail causing a lengthy closure of the road for its removal. The area is a posted no heavy truck route.
As a result of the incident, Forks of the Credit Road was closed for over 2 hours to facilitate the safe removal of the truck and trailer.
A 65 year old driver from Mississauga was charged with:
- Disobey Sign
- Interfere With Traffic
Caledon OPP would like to remind commercial motor vehicle drivers that there are many route restrictions in Caledon that exist to keep them, their trucks and the roads safe. If the GPS says yes, but the sign says no - TRUST THE SIGN.
Caledon Detachment officers continue to conduct commercial vehicle enforcement initiatives everyday of the year in an on-going effort to ensure the safety and security of our community members and those passing through Caledon. Road safety is a joint effort between drivers, owners and community members.
The OPP Caledon Detachment would like to encourage motorists to report potential dangerous commercial motor vehicles or poor driving behaviour. Motorists can call 911, or *OPP (*677) on their mobile device and be put in contact with an emergency dispatcher. Using a mobile device to report a potential impaired driver will not result in a charge for using a hand-held communication device.
