A 60-year-old truck driver from Cambridge was charged after a two-vehicle crash and rollover on Highway 404 Monday.
In a social media post, Ontario Provincial Police said the crash between a straight truck carrying slates of wood and a black Honda vehicle happened just before 7 a.m.
Police said the truck was driving behind the Honda before the crash. The driver of the truck did not notice the Honda slowing down for a police investigation in the shoulder ahead. Trying to avoid the crash, police said the truck driver swerved to the side, hitting the back of the Honda, before the truck entered the ditch and rolled over.

Community shows support for unhoused woman allegedly targeted by driver in Brossard, Que.
Social Sharing Dozens of people gathered on Montreal's South Shore on Tuesday to show solidarity with a woman experiencing homelessness who police say was intentionally struck by a car last week. Standing before the crowd with a cast on her leg and bruises on her knee, Caroline Derome delivered a brief but emotional message. "I feel a lot of love, and it's absolutely helping me right now," she said, addressing supporters and members of the media. The rally, held in Brossard near the site of the incident, was organized by local shelters and community groups who say the event is a stark reminder of how vulnerable unhoused individuals remain. On May 27, Derome, 44, was struck by a car just steps from where she'd set up a tent the night prior on a residential street. The mother of two says she lost her job due to mental health issues, then lost her home. She was taken to hospital with serious injuries to her legs and needed surgery for a broken ankle after the incident. The driver, 46-year-old Luigi Fragomele, was charged with dangerous driving, assault with a weapon — in this case a vehicle — leaving the scene of an accident and mischief. He remains in custody, with a bail hearing set for Thursday. While the motive behind the alleged attack remains unclear, representatives from community groups said the situation highlights the importance of treating everyone, regardless of their housing status, with dignity and respect. "There's no face to homelessness," said Pierre Rousseau, who manages Halte du Coin, an emergency shelter in the area. "You wouldn't believe how many people I see, people I shake hands with, who don't even realize they're living in a homeless situation." Martine Audate, who works with the Brossard Consultation Table, a local organization that supports people in vulnerable situations, said the rising cost of living is creating more instability across the South Shore. "People think it's easier here than in downtown Montreal, but it's not," Audate said. "It's still very hard to get housing here." For now, Derome is staying with her brother as she recovers from her injuries. She says the support she's received from the community has been crucial to her healing, both physically and emotionally. "I feel privileged," she said.

Police search for suspect accused of stealing SUV to flee Hamilton collision
A Hamilton Police vehicle outside the scene of a stabbing at the Hamilton Downtown Mosque in Hamilton, Ont., Friday, May 2, 2025.

B.C. woman used Personal Real Estate Corporation to make $500K loan to spouse, violating rules
Houses are shown in Vancouver on Friday, Aug. 19, 2022. (Darryl Dyck / The Canadian Press) A B.C. real estate agent has agreed to pay more than $50,000 to a provincial regulator after admitting to two separate instances of misconduct involving her common-law spouse. Rui Liang, also known as Rena Liang, entered a consent order agreement with the B.C. Financial Services Authority over the misconduct last month. The document was published online last week. In it, Liang and her Personal Real Estate Corporation agree to pay the BCFSA a $50,000 administrative penalty and $5,000 in enforcement expenses. According to the consent order, a $5-million mortgage was registered against a Vancouver property in favour of Liang's company – referred to throughout the decision as 'RL PREC' – in February 2019. The mortgage amount was mistakenly registered an order of magnitude higher than it was intended to be, the document indicates, describing it as a 'spousal loan' of $500,000 to Liang's common-law spouse Peter Ho Chiu Chu. The loan was related to a house the couple was building, and Chu was the registered owner of the property, according to the consent order. Under B.C.'s Real Estate Services Act and its associated regulations, Personal Real Estate Corporations are not allowed to 'conduct any business other than the provision of real estate services and ancillary services directly associated with the provision of real estate services,' the consent order reads. By allowing a mortgage to be registered in favour of RL PREC, Liang and her corporation violated this rule. 'In April 2022, the mortgage was transferred from RL PREC to Ms. Liang personally and the amount of the mortgage was amended to $500,000,' the consent order reads. The other misconduct Liang and RL PREC admitted to in the document also stemmed from their relationship to Chu. According to the consent order, Chu has been the owner of a company called '168 Rock Solid Homes' since it was incorporated in 2008. The company began providing rental property management services 'in or around 2012,' despite not being licensed to do so, the document indicates. 'Ms. Liang knew that neither Mr. Chu nor Rock Solid Homes was licensed to provide rental property management services, nor exempt from the requirement to be licensed,' the consent order reads. Despite this knowledge, Liang directed the successful applicant for a rental home in West Vancouver to get in touch with Chu, who the property owner had hired to manage the property, according to the consent order. This constituted facilitating or supporting unlicensed property management, which is 'conduct unbecoming' under the Real Estate Services Act, Liang admitted in the document. In addition to the $55,000 in penalties she and RL PREC agreed to pay in the consent order, Liang also agreed to complete the Real Estate Trading Services Remedial Education Course at UBC's Sauder School of Business, according to the consent order. Liang and her corporation have no previous discipline history with the BCFSA, the document notes.
