Charges laid after seven uncalled for tow trucks arrive at Cambridge collision
A long list of charges has been laid after police were called to a physical fight between two tow truck drivers at a crash site in Cambridge. The Waterloo Regional Police Service received several calls about a two-vehicle collision on Franklin Boulevard near Mill Creek Road on Thursday around 2:15 p.m. When officers arrived, they found the northbound lanes of the road were blocked by multiple tow trucks and two tow truck drivers were involved in a physical confrontation. In total, seven tow trucks from four different companies were at the crash, but police said the drivers involved in the collision hadn't called any of them. Officers laid 21 charges under the Highway Traffic Act and the Towing and Storage Safety and Enforcement Act. They also deemed one truck to be unsafe and put it out of service. Under Ontario law, tow truck operators are not allowed to solicit services that have not been requested either by a driver or by another authorized person, such as a police officer.
