8յ00 AM | Waterloo Regional Police were alerted of a commercial vehicle needing assistance in the area of Ament Line in Wellesley Township. A fully loaded transport truck was travelling west on Ament Line attempting to crest a hill when it stalled on the incline. Upon arrival, the patrol officer parked behind the truck with the emergency lights activated. Prior to rendering assistance, the transport truck driver lost control and the truck rolled backward down the hill, striking the police SUV. The impact of the collision pushed the cruiser approximately 30 metres down the hill. The transport truck came to rest in the snow-filled ditch on the north side of the road. Neither driver sustained injury. Members of the Traffic Services Unit attended to investigate the cause of the collision. A full truck inspection was completed at the scene. The driver of the truck, a 46-years-old Brampton man, and his employer were charged with a number of offences under the Highway Traffic Act in relation to driver action, vehicle maintenance, and equipment safety. The roadway was closed until approximately 5 p.m. while police continued to investigate.
