A 51-year-old man has been charged after a piece of plywood smashed into a car's windshield Wednesday on Highway 410, in a near miss for the vehicle's driver and passengers, provincial police said. Kerry Schmidt said on Twitter that the man has been charged with having an insecure load, contrary to the Highway Safety Act. The collision happened around 4 p.m. Wednesday on Highway 410 near Queen Street E. in Brampton. Police say that the unsecured piece of wood flew off a small utility trailer being towed by an SUV and struck a Volkswagen Jetta. The driver and passengers in the Jetta escaped with only minor injuries.
