OPP INVESTIGATE COLLISION

Driver Attempts To Avoid Collision With Ducklings

(PRESCOTT, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Grenville County Detachment is urging all motorists to expect the unexpected when it comes to wildlife on the highways.

The Grenville County OPP is once again reminding the motoring public to be alert and aware of their surroundings after police investigated a single motor vehicle collision on Highway 401 involving a transport truck Monday morning, July 10, 2017.

At approximately 9:40 am, a commercial vehicle travelling eastbound on Highway 401 swerved to avoid a family of ducks that was on the roadway. In doing so, the driver lost control of the truck, struck the guide rail, and entered the marsh on the south side of the highway. As a result, the highway infrastructure and the involved vehicle sustained serious damage.  The driver was not injured.

Stephen ALLEN (49) of Vineland Ontario has been charged with Unsafe Move, contrary to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act.

If you suddenly have wildlife in your path, the OPP encourages drivers to stay in control, reduce as much speed as possible if safe to do so, and to steer straight. By changing your direction quickly, you increase the risk of losing control, running off the roadway, and the likelihood of sustaining greater damage to your vehicle and suffering injury increases significantly.

While the OPP and its traffic safety partners remain committed to saving lives on our roads, drivers, passengers and the general public play important roles in contributing to safer roads.

Cornwall Ontario – In what appears to be a terrifying hold up at knife point, MacMillan’s Convenience store was held up Sunday.

The owners of the store have it cammed and post shoplifting clips on social media regularly.   Today they posted video of the hold up which oddly enough the Cornwall Community Police failed to include in its police blotter for the day.

The CCPS refuses to issue reports of actual amounts of calls and breakdowns like the much more professional Kingston Police Service and other forces do.  They also didn’t inform the public when a sub machine gun was stolen from the local Armory.

With its budget creeping to nearly double that of the OPP for SD&G the force is under more pressure to be accountable to the public.

Luckily nobody was physically injured although the poor cashier must have been traumatized.

We will update if the police catch the culprit…..and actually let the public know.
