7 Year-Old Girl Caught Driving a Tanker Truck

OSHAWA, ONT.— An officer who spotted a tanker leaking milk on Highway 401 near the Oshawa-Whitby border yesterday pulled up beside the truck to find a little girl steering it.

"The girl was only 7 years old," Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Sergeant Cam Woolley said.

"The officer was absolutely shocked and surprised. She was standing on the floor of the cab steering this big rig."

A man in the truck immediately "grabbed the little girl" and "tore her away" from the steering wheel when he realized that a police officer was travelling beside him, Woolley said.

A 26-year-old Orillia man has been charged with careless driving and having an unbelted child in a vehicle.

Meanwhile, the OPP's holiday weekend blitz, dubbed "Fine Example" continues through Victoria Day Holiday tomorrow.

Altogether, 600 charges — more than half for speeding — have been laid during the first two days of the four-day blitz.

Woolley said the top speeder so far was a 26-year-old Mississauga man who was caught driving at 210 km (130 mph) an hour following complaints from other motorists and charged with dangerous driving and speeding.

The silliest excuse for speeding came from a 27-year-old woman from Dundas, who was nabbed travelling southbound on Highway 404 in a Ford Focus at 160 km/h.

"She said she was speeding because she was wearing flip-flops," Woolley said.

The crackdown began at 6 a.m. Friday, and the first impaired motorist was nabbed less than an hour later, when a 48-year-old Bolton driver was arrested, police said.

The weekend's first fatality occurred when a Sudbury-area man died in a two-vehicle collision shortly before 5 p.m. Friday, police said.

Pierre St. Georges, 49, of Hanmer, Ont., was killed when his motorcycle crossed the centre line of Highway 141 near Rousseau and struck an SUV head-on. The driver of the SUV was not injured.

I dont think a 7 year old driving a truck is being funny at all.

She couldve been killed.

But you people continue to laugh it up though.

her Father obviously didn't think that she was in any danger - maybe he's the one who needs the lecture.
