Officers were called to the single-vehicle crash on Wellington Road 22 near Fifth Line at around 7:20 p.m. and found the 43-year-old driver nearby the scene.
Police said the man was taken into custody after being examined by paramedics, but later complained about an injury and was taken to hospital.
