Truck spills sand, crash caught on video

Meanwhile, Highway 401 was closed in both directions near Guelph Line after a tractor trailer crashed in Milton Friday morning.

The truck was carrying about 30 tonnes of sand when it lost control and crashed through the guardrail, dumping its load across the highway at about 8 a.m.

A CP24 viewer captured the crash on their dashboard camera.

No serious injuries were reported in the crash, although several other vehicles were involved.

It doesn't appear there were any mechanical problems with the truck and the OPP says the driver is blaming the accident on poor driving conditions.

Brampton resident Bahadar Bassi, 48, is facing one charge of careless driving.
