Loaded horse trailer hits rail

Traffic was halted in both directions on the Toronto bound lanes of the QEW near Millen Rd. as four horses were removed from a jacknifed trailer and escorted onto a waiting trailer.

Look closely,, the trailer was most likely overloaded.. and what training did the driver receive?

All lanes are open on the QEW Toronto bound at Centennial Parkway after a truck hauling a horse trailer struck a guard rail this morning.

OPP reported that two people received minor injuries and that dogs were "running loose at the scene.” No dogs were injured.

Animal Control attended to the four horses in the trailer. None of the horses were hurt, but were tranquilized and safely transferred to another trailer.

OPP is investigating this incident.
