Everyone was kept safe during a dangerous situation this morning, thanks to the brave actions of a member of the Huron County OPP.
According to police, just before 8am, they received two calls about a commercial truck travelling erratically on Highway 8.
Officers responded, locating the suspect vehicle near Front Road.
The release from the OPP says that, despite numerous police vehicles following with lights and sirens, the driver failed to stop.
They report the use of spike belts, adding that several tires were deflated, though the vehicle continued at a slower speed.
As the truck approached Clinton, a senior member of the Huron OPP Crime Unit leapt onto the side of the truck and was able to get into the cab compartment.
The OPP say that, with the assistance of another officer, they were able to get the truck stopped and the driver out of the vehicle.
Police currently suspect the driver was experiencing a medical-related event, though this remains under investigation.
