Dashcam footage or witness?
Hi all!
If anyone was travelling westbound on the 417 around 7:00 AM today and has any input or dashcam info for what happened, I'd love to hear from you.
Around 7:05-7:06 ish, I was I the right lane of the 417W passing the exit for Pinecrest. A dump truck was driving alongside me on my left. A metal rod or beam was either thrown from the truck itself or picked up from the road and flung into my car. The impact took off the driver side mirror, gashed the A-mount for the windshield and punched a hole in my driver side door. I did not catch the dump truck license plate or any identifying information due to adrenaline and prioritizing maintaining safe control of my own car.
A claim has been opened with my insurance and I've begun the process of reporting with OPP. If anyone has any information, that would be super helpful! Not only for me but for anyone else that may have been impacted by this incident.
