The westbound lanes of Highway 401 were closed early Wednesday morning after a transport truck carrying candy crashed just west of Cobourg.
Firefighters from Cobourg and Hamilton Township responded to Burnham Street around 1:20 a.m. where a truck had rolled onto its side blocking both lanes. Boxes of Jolly Rancher candy were spilled on the roadway.
They helped get the driver out of the cab. He was taken to Northumberland Hills Hospital in Cobourg with minor injuries.
