The roadway at Confederation Line, between Waterworks Road and Brigden Side Road was re-opened at approximately 7:00 PM after Bluewater Power workers fixed a damaged hydro pole. The damage occurred as a result of a single motor vehicle collision that occurred today at approximately 2:40 PM. The Sarnia Police Service would like to thank the public with their assistance by avoiding that area while the roadway was closed.
The investigation into the motor vehicle collision has revealed that an 18 year old male was driving Eestbound on Confederation Line when his motor vehicle left the roadway and struck a hydro pole, causing severe damage to both the motor vehicle and the pole. As a result of the motor vehicle collision, the male driver was transported to Bluewater Health with minor injuries. The male driver has been issued a Provincial Offences Notice and charged with Careless Driving under the Highway Traffic Act.
The Sarnia Police Service would like to remind motorists to drive accordingly when road conditions are poor due to winter weather.
