Global News has learned a garbage truck driver has been charged after video surfaced appearing to show a truck crashing into power lines in downtown Toronto Friday morning.

In the video, shot from above the intersection of Jarvis and Carlton streets, the vehicle can be seen driving with what appears to be a dumpster raised above the main body of the truck.

It proceeds through the intersection and appears to crash into power lines, causing a spark and making a large object fall from the truck.
