Heavy rolls of paper

A tractor trailer has tipped while navigating a curved approach at Highway 401 near Highway 400 leaving it teetering over the eastbound lanes of the 401 Monday morning. OPP posted images on Twitter showing a transport truck leaning against the guard rail over Highway 401. The vehicle was carrying heavy paper rolls which it seems likely were not fully secured inside the truck. It happened some time around 8:30 a.m. on the eastbound Highway 401 ramp at Highway 400. OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said collector lanes have reopened, but express lanes will remain closed until crews put the truck upright over the next hour. He said one person suffered minor injuries in the rollover.

There has been a  tentative agreement reached between the LCBO and employee members of OPSEU, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union. Discussion with members is required and ratification may occur early in the week. OPSEU was set to strike Monday but this is now cancelled. The issue, as related by the union, was the schedules of part-time employees. Some reports say LCBO cashiers earn $28 an hour.

An overturned oil tanker burst into flames in Pakistan Sunday killing as many as 153 people who had rushed to the scene of the highway accident to gather leaking fuel. The heartbreaking circumstances of the catastrophe are reported by hospital staff at Bahawalpur’s Victoria Hospital in south Punjab. There are expectations that there will be more dead reported. A loudspeaker atop a local mosque alerted villagers to the leaking fuel and scores raced to the site with jerry cans, said Rana Mohammad Salim, deputy commissioner of Bahawalpur. Highway police moved quickly to redirect traffic but couldn’t stop the scores of villagers who raced to collect the fuel, spokesman Imran Shah told a local TV channel.

A woman has downed in a south Lawrence Park swimming pool in a case called misadventure by Toronto police. The accident occurred overnight in a pool at a home on Ridgefield Drive, a cul de sac running southeast off Blythwood Road. She was found without vital signs about 5.30 a.m. Sunday. Police said the woman may have fallen into the pool. They said someone at the house discovered the woman in the pool. One person called police, while another person pulled the woman from the pool and performed CPR. “This is considered non-criminal,” a police officer said. Police have not released her name or her exact age but said she was in her 60s.

Vanessa of Leaside High School (upper left) is catching some warm praise from friends for her work as a Bike Champion for Safe School Travel Planning. Thanks Vanessa and well done. Upper right, Dan Styles was offering a tart tweet to the TTC for its suggestion that the #56 Leaside service is not drawing passengers. Uh-huh. Lower left, Andy Donovan posts this shot of some youngsters (maybe some are his) as they chill at Cork’s over Longo’s before hitting Skyzone for a friend’s birthday party. Smile guys. Rudy Limeback tweeted the interesting picture of the swollen Don River from the Leaside bridge and finally the Leaside Gardeners posted this lovely lavender (or citronella) as a reminder of how to ward off mosquitoes this wet summer.
