London man charged in deadly Hwy. 401 crash near Chatham
A truck driver has been charged for his role in a head-on crash on Hwy. 401 near Chatham that killed a man and teenager.
On May 10, a tractor trailer travelling westbound on Hwy. 401 crossed a grass median and entered the eastbound lanes, just west of the Mull Rd. overpass, and struck a westbound vehicle.
Marc Lafontaine, 35, and passenger Alyssa Smulders, 13, both of Windsor, were killed.
The driver of the truck, Leszek Urbaniak, suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Urbaniak, 57, of London has been charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death.
He will appear in a Chatham court on July 8.

I would be inclined to think the driver was not mesmerized by the wind turbines but rather fell a sleep at the wheel. He failed to heed the sign on that stretch of the 401 that reads…fatigue kills.
The whole picture is truly tragic. May the families find peace.
