A Mississauga truck driver has been sentenced to three years in prison for a fatal 2019 crash in Oakville that left one woman dead and injured seven others.
On August 22, 2019, the truck driver had been driving a transport truck loaded with fruit in the eastbound lanes of the QEW. Testimony from witnesses confirmed that vehicles had slowed down and stopped as a result of construction ahead of the Trafalgar Road overpass.
