An 18-year-old Oshawa man has been charged with dangerous driving after a crash Wednesday on Hwy. 401 in Pickering that involved Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Ford’s office says the premier was not injured after he was involved in the two-vehicle crash.
Ford was in a vehicle operated by the OPP Protective Services Section after making an announcement at Darlington Nuclear Generating Station.
Spokesperson Grace Lee says the premier, staff and OPP officers in the vehicle are safe.
Ford was at Darlington to talk about a vision to supply both Canada and the United States with energy, in the face of American tariff threats.
At about 12:30 p.m., OPP officers were called to a two-vehicle crash on the westbound lanes of Hwy. 401, approaching Broad Rd.
The OPP said in a news release on Wednesday night that two occupants of one of the vehicles were taken to hospital with minor injuries. They were treated and released.
No injuries were reported by occupants of the vehicle with Ford inside.
The accused is scheduled to appear in Oshawa court on Feb. 20.
Witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage are asked to call police at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIattackedPS (8477).
