This is why every single one of my invoices reminds my customers to return for retorque!! It's crucial!!! I hope the injured driver will be okay!
It's that time of the year again, summer tire season! A reminder from the Ottawa OPP to have your tires double torqued. On May 8th, OPP responded to an incident on Highway 417 where a tire came off a vehicle travelling eastbound and struck an vehicle travelling westbound. This resulted in significant injuries to the driver, who was transported to hospital. The owner of the vehicle whose tire came off has been charged under the Highway Traffic Act and will be appearing in Provincial Court at a later date.
