OPP have charged a truck driver that was involved in a single-vehicle collision over the weekend.
Late Sunday evening, a tractor-trailer was the sole vehicle involved in a collision on Highway 401 in Loyalist Township. The collision closed both eastbound lanes of the highway near Odessa.
According to police, the driver was sent to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after being extricated from the destroyed truck by paramedics and Loyalist Township Fire and Rescue.
Police say the collision caused a small diesel fuel spill, which was quickly contained.
