When one thinks of an illegal load, images of veggies probably don’t immediately come to mind. In this instance, carrots were the talk of the town after a truck was filled to the brim with the orange vegetable.
The Ontario Provincial Police took to Twitter to share images of their most recent bust. Their caption read: “Snowmen noses falling from a truck. Driver charged with insecure load. There may be snowmen missing their noses this winter #SecureYourLoad.”
Officers had pulled over a pickup truck with a load of loose carrots on a Saturday evening from Wasaga Beach. Yes, hundreds of carrots were just chilling in the bed of a pickup truck.
According to the authorities, a tarp or having fewer carrots on board would have been a simple solution to the problem. The driver would have been able to avoid being charged with an insecure load and instead had to pay the price.
“When the load is over the rails, it is an insecure load,” OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said.
