Northumberland OPP and emergency services responded to a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 401 westbound, just west of Division Street. Crews transported the driver to a local hospital. The left lane remains open to traffic, but drivers should expect delays as teams manage the scene and clear the area. #NthldOPP will provide updates as available.

Single-vehicle rollovers like this underscore the importance of highway safety and timely assistance. Accidents often require quick and effective heavy tow services to ensure the scene is cleared safely.

3. Regular Maintenance: Tire checks and overall vehicle health can prevent breakdowns and the need for emergency towing.
4. Stay Focused: Distracted driving is a top accident cause—always keep your attention on the road.

Happy Halloween from Pacific Towing! Tonight, neighborhoods across Canada will be buzzing with excited trick-or-treaters dressed in their spookiest costumes. Halloween is a wonderful time for families, but with so many little ones out on the streets, it’s crucial to drive carefully to keep everyone safe. Here are some quick Halloween driving safety tips to remember as you hit the road tonight!

Halloween Driving Safety Tips for Tonight

1. Drive Slowly and Be Extra Cautious

   Children are out and about, often in dark costumes. Reduce your speed and watch out for kids crossing the street, especially in residential areas where trick-or-treating is popular.

2. Stay Focused and Put Your Phone Away

   Keep your full attention on the road. Halloween brings unexpected activity, and it only takes a second of distraction to miss something important. Wait until you’re parked or stopped to check your phone.

3. Watch Out for Driveways and Crosswalks

   Trick-or-treaters may dart across driveways or crosswalks without warning. When pulling out or into a driveway, go slow, and check both ways to make sure no little ghosts or goblins are nearby.

4. Use Your Headlights, Even Before Dark

   Turning on your headlights early helps you spot children in darker costumes and makes your car more visible to pedestrians.

5. Limit Inside Distractions

   Keep the radio volume low, and if possible, roll down your windows to be more aware of your surroundings. This helps you hear any nearby trick-or-treaters and enhances your alertness.

6. Check Your Costume if You’re Wearing One
   If you’re wearing a costume, make sure it doesn’t obstruct your vision or interfere with your ability to drive safely.

As winter sweeps across Canada, drivers face unique challenges from snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. Whether you’re navigating Toronto’s busy streets, the snowy roads of Calgary, or the cold highways of Montreal, it’s essential to prepare for winter driving conditions. Here at Pacific Towing, we’re committed to keeping you safe on the road, offering services like tow, heavy towing, and commercial towing to support you whenever you need help. Here are some expert winter driving tips to keep you, your passengers, and other drivers safe this season.

1. Slow Down on Icy Roads

Winter roads reduce traction. Lowering your speed helps you maintain control, especially in snowy or icy areas. When driving in Canadian cities with heavy snowfall, like Ottawa or Edmonton, slowing down is key to staying safe.

2. Increase Your Following Distance

In winter conditions, double or triple your usual following distance. This extra space lets you stop safely if needed, a crucial measure on snowy highways and icy streets across Canada.

3. Drive Smoothly

Avoid sudden movements. Accelerate, brake, and turn gently to prevent skidding. Whether you’re driving through snowy Calgary or icy Quebec City, smooth handling reduces the chance of losing control.

4. Prepare an Emergency Kit

Keep essentials like blankets, food, water, and a flashlight in your vehicle. This kit can be a lifesaver if you get stranded and need to wait for towing assistance, especially on isolated roads.

5. Keep Your Fuel Tank Half Full

Prevent fuel line freeze and ensure you have enough gas if you encounter delays.

Maintaining at least a half-full tank is wise on long drives across remote areas of Ontario or the northern regions of Alberta.

6. Check Tires for Winter

Ensure your tires have good tread and proper inflation. Winter or all-season tires help with traction on icy roads. If you need help, Pacific Towing provides reliable commercial towing and heavy truck towing across Canadian cities.

Stay Safe This Winter

Prepare your vehicle, drive smart, and rely on Pacific Towing as your go-to towing partner in Canada

An early morning crash on Highway 12 in Tay Township involved an OPP cruiser and a suspected impaired driver. At midnight, a minivan’s eastbound driver struck an OPP SUV parked on Highway 12 near Wye Valley Road. The OPP officer had pulled over with emergency lights flashing. The OPP SUV had its emergency lights on at the time of the collision. The impact pushed the cruiser into a ditch and caused the minivan to roll onto its side.

Thankfully, no one was injured. The officer in the cruiser exited safely and, with the help of passing drivers, assisted the minivan’s driver and passenger. Paramedics on the scene found no injuries for either individual.

After conducting a thorough investigation, officers determined the 31-year-old Tay Township man drove impaired by alcohol. Consequently, they arrested him and brought him to the police station for breath testing.

The test confirmed their suspicions, leading to charges of impaired driving and exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit. Furthermore, his driver’s license was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for seven days.

This incident highlights the importance of vigilant law enforcement in preventing alcohol-related accidents and underscores the severity of impaired driving, as well as the critical role of towing and heavy-duty services. Tow operators quickly removed the damaged vehicles and cleared the road, keeping traffic flowing safely. Consequently, the OPP reminds all drivers to make responsible, sober choices to prevent similar incidents.

Toronto paramedics treated the driver for minor injuries and transported them to a nearby hospital.

The Critical Role of Heavy Towing in Accident Recovery

Accidents involving vehicles penetrating buildings, as seen in the recent Tim Hortons incident, underscore the critical role of heavy towing services. When vehicles become lodged in structures, professional towing crews are crucially important to safely extract them.
