Peel Region Police have arrested a tow truck driver after dashcam video of his alleged reckless driving went viral.
The video, shot and uploaded to YouTube on Jan. 9, shows a white hunter truck driving through oncoming traffic to overtake vehicles waiting at the intersection of Center St. and Vodden St. E.
The truck narrowly avoids a head-on collision as it hurtles south along Vodden toward Main Street.
The video then shows the truck stopped almost at the Main Street intersection, eventually running through the red light and cutting off several vehicles that had the right of way.
