WARWICK, Ont. - A man trying to pull his tooth out while driving has been charged.

Provincial police say around 11:30 a.m. on June 30, an officer responded to a complaint of a tractor trailer allegedly driving "all over the road" on Highway 402 in Warwick, Ont.

The officer pulled the vehicle over and discovered the man was trying to yank out his tooth while driving.

Police say the driver allegedly rigged a string around the affected tooth, mounted the string to a fixed point on the roof of the cab and waited for a bump to yank it out.

Police say the bloody tooth and string lay next to the man when he was pulled over.

A 58-year-old man has been charged with careless driving.
