Careless driving charge laid in North Bay crash
A Sunday morning crash on Highway 17 resulted in a Powassan driver being charged with careless driving, Ontario Provincial Police say.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene of a single-vehicle crash at Christine Lane, west of the city, around 9:30 a.m. Sept. 8.
A silver pickup truck had rolled onto the shoulder and a photo of the vehicle showed major damage to the cab and front end.
"Through investigation, the driver who was the lone occupant, received minor injuries and was transported to the hospital," OPP said in a social media post about the incident.
The 43-year-old driver was charged.
The highway was closed until about 11 a.m.
Police remind drivers to pay attention and drive safely.
