A 21-year-old Toronto driver is facing several charges, including dangerous driving, after going the wrong way and almost colliding head-on with another vehicle on Highway 401 in Milton.

Provincial police say dashcam footage shows a driver going eastbound in the westbound lanes of the highway near James Snow Parkway just before 6 p.m. on September 7. The vehicle had sideswiped several other cars and avoided a head-on crash before crashing into a light pole. The driver attempted to flee the scene before police caught up with him.

“This shocking video could have easily resulted in a fatal collision,” said OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt.

“The driver is now facing criminal charges of dangerous driving, failing to remain at the scene of a collision and driving the wrong way on a divided highway.”
