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.
% Z& B" [+ L+ ~1 xRupinder 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.

“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.
