Ottawa police say a driver has been charged with disobeying a stop sign after a two-vehicle collision and rollover in the city’s south end on Monday morning.
Officers were called to the intersection of Rideau and Bowesville roads, south of the Ottawa International Airport, shortly before 5:30 a.m., police spokesperson Const. Chuck Benoit said.
A two-door Pontiac and a Ford pickup truck were involved in the collision, according to police. An image of the crash site posted on social media by a traffic officer showed the pickup truck flipped over in the intersection.
No injuries were reported in the crash, Benoit said.
Another collision in the downtown area later on Monday morning, however, left a pedestrian with a broken leg, Ottawa paramedics said.
Police and paramedics were called to Bank Street and Gladstone Avenue around 7:45 a.m. after a car reportedly struck a woman in her 60s.
In addition to a broken leg, the woman suffered other minor injuries and was taken to the Ottawa Hospital’s trauma centre in stable condition, paramedic spokesperson Marc-Antoine Deschamps said.
No charges have been laid in that collision, Benoit confirmed.
Immediately after the incident, Gladstone Avenue was closed to westbound traffic, but it has since reopened.
Police, however, are still cleaning up a third collision site after a van hit a pole at the intersection of Woodroffe Avenue and Navaho Drive, near Algonquin College in Ottawa’s west end.
The crash was reported shortly before 6:15 a.m., Ottawa police said.
No other vehicles were involved in the collision and no injuries were reported, Benoit said.
