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.

“He kept closing his eyes and almost falling asleep while I was questioning him,” Wenzlaff wrote in a summary of the case.

Eventually, the co-driver admitted they had snorted heroin before setting off from Mississauga with a load of baked goods for delivery in California.
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.
Police were told Dhaliwal, who had no prior criminal record, had been driving for a Brampton trucking company for about three years.
In addition to the 90-day jail sentence, he was prohibited from driving for 15 months and fined $200 for a Highway Traffic Act offence.
