Demaras Racing’s “team mom” Alice drives a Mini Cooper, so this news story hit close to home.



Apparently, a collision between a dump truck and Mini Cooper occurred at 10:00 am today. Driving southbound on the Don Valley Parkway, heading for the elevated Gardiner Expressway, all hell broke loose. The minor accident turned into a major incident.
The truck driver got the car sideways, then proceeded to drag it hundreds of meters UP the Gardiner onramp. Other motorists had to flag down the driver of the truck who (one can only assume) claims he could not see the Mini.
Multiple driving charges and commercial motor vehicles offences have been slapped on the dump truck driver.
