Tire blow out causes cable wire damage on the 401

Chatham-Kent OPP officials allege: On Sunday, November 8, 2020 at approximately 1:20 p.m.

Chatham-Kent Ontario Provincial Police were called to a tractor trailer travelling westbound on Highway 401 near Mull Road in Chatham-Kent that experienced a tire blow out causing it to strike the centre cable barrier.

The driver was able to bring the vehicle to a stop in the centre median while the cable barrier assisted in preventing the vehicle from entering the eastbound last.

The cable barrier was compromised but has been repaired.

There were no injuries and there will not be any charges laid in this matter.
