Driver charged after going wrong direction in express lane of Highway 427 (VIDEO)

On Christmas Day, Ontario Provincial Police pulled over a 72-year-old ‘disoriented’ driver who was driving in wrong direction on Highway 427.

In the express lane.

The dangerous moment was caught on video, showing traffic narrowly avoiding the on-coming car as it slowly made its way down the busy highway.

Thankfully, no one was hurt as a result of the incident. The 72-year-old has been charged with careless driving and his license is now under review by the Ministry of Transportation.

Thanks #OPP for saving the day again. Another wrong way vehicle on #Christmas. This one was stopped travelling on #Hwy427.
