Four trucks pulled off Kingston, Ont. roads during safety blitz

A safety blitz in the Kingston area on Thursday pulled several heavy trucks off the road with some major problems.

The one-day inspection blitz was conducted in partnership between the Ministry of Transportation, Kingston Police, and Ontario Provincial Police, checking everything from brakes to engines and driver documentation on large commercial trucks. "The hub, the condition of the hub, because we don’t want one of these wheels coming off."

Sgt. Steve Koopman with Kingston Police says Ministry of Transportation numbers show that 25 per cent of commercial vehicles inspected this year across the province have been pulled off the road. Acting Staff Sgt. Jamie Davis, with the Ontario Provincial Police Frontenac Detachment, says its an issue on Highway 401 as well.
