A 58-year-old driver of a Toronto EMS supply truck is in hospital after the vehicle collided into a hydro pole in the city’s west-end late Thursday evening.
The crash happened around 11 p.m. on Weston Road near Sheppard Avenue and caused a power outage in the area.
Toronto police said no patients were in the ambulance at the time of the collision.
Toronto EMS said the driver suffered minor injuries.
Toronto Hydro said that 5,000 customers were initially without power but service was restored to about 3,000 customers in under an hour. The remaining 2000 were restored before 4 a.m.
The area near Weston Road and Bradstock Road was closed to traffic as crews attempted to restore the power and clear the debris.
