Provincial police are urging motorists to have wheel nuts checked regularly and retorqued after the latest incident along the 400 at Highway 88 in Innisfil.

Police say one wheel nut became lodged in the windshield of another vehicle.

No injuries were reported.

Police described the injuries in that case as minor.
