A truck driver from Quebec is charged after a car ended up on top of a police cruiser in a collision on Highway 401 in eastern Ontario.

Ontario Provincial Police say officers responding to a collision on Saturday morning parked behind the crash scene with their emergency lights activated.

They say a tractor-trailer lost control and jackknifed, striking the police cruiser.

The tractor-trailer was carrying a number of cars which became dislodged on impact, one of them landing on top of the cruiser.

OPP say an officer inside the cruiser escaped without injury.

A 29-year-old man is charged with careless driving.
