The Killaloe Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) recently handled a collision resulting in charges against the driver.
On April 14, 2024, just after 7:00 a.m., officers rushed to a single-vehicle crash involving a pickup truck on Combermere Road near Rubyville Road in the Township of Madawaska Valley.
Initial investigations revealed that the driver of the pickup truck, a 52-year-old from Bancroft, lost control and collided with a hydro pole. Following the inquiry, the driver was charged with careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act, leading to the issuance of a Provincial Offences Act notice.
Although no injuries were reported, the vehicle required towing, and Hydro responded to repair downed wires.
