Ontario Provincial Police are concerned following a commercial motor vehicle safety blitz.
On March 29, OPP and the Ministry of Transportation stopped 19 vehicles resulting in 18 charges and 12 being being taken off the road — two license plates were seized as well.
According to a release, the OPP will continue safety inspections aimed at reducing CMV-related collisions.
Officers in the Western Region responded to just over 1,000 collisions involving CMVs in 2020.
Anyone with concerns about a commercial motor vehicle is urged to contact the OPP or if they wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers.
