A truck driver carrying a load of baked goods from Mississauga to California was so high on heroin that he had to be put on life-support after getting caught careening along Hwy. 401 in Cambridge.
Rupinder Dhaliwal, 29, of Etobicoke spent two days in hospital and is now facing 90 days in jail — to be served on weekends — after leading guilty yesterday (Aug. 26) to dangerous driving and impaired driving.

Several motorists called police after seeing a tractor-trailer swerving across all three lanes and the shoulder of the westbound highway in steady traffic one morning in February.
Const. Monica Wenzlaff of the Cambridge OPP intercepted the rig at Franklin Boulevard.
When she approached the vehicle, both Dhaliwal and another Etobicoke man, his co-driver, were dazed and confused.
“He kept closing his eyes and almost falling asleep while I was questioning him,” Wenzlaff wrote in a summary of the case.

Lynch stressed the potential for disaster since Dhaliwal was so out of it that Wenzlaff had a hard time even getting his attention in a marked cruiser with its siren wailing.
“You owe a debt of gratitude to the people who called this in and the officer who stopped you,” Lynch said.
