Friday Jan. 21, 2011 A collision near Guelph Line in Milton on Friday morning saw extensive damage to several vehicles, but no serious injuries, police say.

According to the OPP around 8:15 a.m. an eastbound tractor-trailer veered across two lanes of traffic and hit the concrete center median.

The cab of the truck went over the median into the westbound lanes, while the trailer, which was carrying 30 tonnes of sand, stayed in the eastbound lanes.

Two eastbound and three westbound vehicles were struck in the crash. Another tractor-trailer was disabled after it hit debris from the collision.

Two lanes were closed in each direction immediately following the crash, causing a traffic backup as far as six kilometres in each direction.

The driver of the truck, a 48-year-old Brampton resident, was not injured.

How many people from Ontario in this thread are laughing at the "HWY 401 barrie, Ontario" bit?

Great reaction time on the camera car drivers part. My drawers would be a bit heavier after seeing that behemoth coming at me

The driver of this vehicle had an angel on his shoulders. Had he been close to the front of that rig on his right, and another vehicle was close behind him, preventing him from slowing down, he would've been box in, and, perhaps, killed by that jackknifed 18-wheeler coming at him.

Some how that reminds me of Harry Potter.

You see this Black Shadow of Death coming at you but you pull out a wand or in this case, a horseshoe out of your ass and BOOM!!

Your still alive.
