Police responded to a couple of crashes in the span of an hour on the 403 near Brantford yesterday afternoon.

The transport was heading westbound when the driver experienced a malfunction with a tire.

Both investigations are continuing and charges are pending.
At approximately 7:30 p.m., the lanes to Highway 403 West near Wayne Gretzky Parkway were re-opened.
