Ledrew also allegedly stole a vehicle from a motorist and fled the scene. Officers later located the vehicle abandoned on Fasken Drive in Etobicoke. “You clearly see just a guy run from the left-hand side all the way to the right-hand side. And you think nothing of it until you see a gun pointed at you, and it’s fight or flight mode,” a man CP24 agreed to only identify as Mike on Wednesday afternoon.
“My first decision was duck down, put it into third gear, and get the hell out of there,” Mike said. However, there was an accident a few metres ahead, preventing him from quickly fleeing.After passing the man, Mike recalled hearing a gunshot, which he said was when “the adrenaline starts pumping. And I did everything to get out of the way.”The incident resulted in the lengthy closure of the Highway 401 eastbound collector lanes at Dixie Road and some Highway 410 and Highway 401 ramps.
