Cereal-eating driver cited in 3-car collision

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but it's definitely not this important.

Witnesses said a driver who lost control along a Highway 401 on-ramp in London, Ontario yesterday was eating cereal when the vehicle careened through a grass median and jumped into 100 kilometre-an-hour traffic, causing a three-vehicle crash.

"Thank goodness he didn't come across a tractor-trailer. We've had enough of those lately," said Const. Phil Miziolek of the OPP highway safety division. "That's just luck of the draw. There's a bit of a lull in the traffic (at this time of day)."

Though the collision included two other vehicles, no one was seriously hurt, Miziolek said.
