Everyone riding in the buggy was cleared medically by Middlesex-London EMS, and no one was transported to the hospital or injured in the incident. Members of the Thames Centre Fire Department also responded to the incident.

“The transport truck driver did not stop,” said police in a statement. “It is likely that the commercial vehicle operator did not notice the event.”

Police remind motorists to exercise extra caution while travelling on country roads, particularly when approaching farm equipment and horse-drawn buggies.
