Unfit dump truck taken off the road in West Lincoln

Several serious safety violations found

Niagara Regional Police stopped a commercial dump truck in West Lincoln after a concerned citizen reported a wobbling tire near Caistor Centre Road and Regional Road 20.

On June 13, a certified commercial vehicle inspector with the NRPS found serious safety violations during a roadside inspection, including an inoperative brake, an air leak, and only three of ten fasteners securing the rear wheels.

The Ministry of Transportation completed a Wheel Separation Report, documenting the company for future tracking. 

The 32-year-old Brampton driver and the company face multiple charges. 

The vehicle was deemed unfit and towed from the scene.
