One man was taken to hospital following a two-vehicle collision on Highway 7 in Peterborough’s east end on Monday morning.
Around 5:30 a.m., emergency crews were called to the intersection of Highway 7 and Keene Road just on the city’s border following reports a car had rear-ended a flatbed truck that was carrying a forklift.
Peterborough firefighters used extraction equipment to extricate the man from the wreckage before he was treated by paramedics and taken to Peterborough Regional Health Centre.
His car sustained extensive front-end damage. The driver of the truck was not injured.
