A single vehicle accident has ended with tragedy. A 59-year-old from Mississauga was driving a transport truck, when the road underneath it collapsed. Emergency crews responded, and pronounced the driver dead on the scene.
THAMES CENTRE - Yesterday (Wednesday, August 23rd), at 10:08 p.m., members of the Middlesex County OPP, Middlesex-London Paramedic Service and Southwest Middlesex Fire, were dispatched to Dundonald Road in Thames Centre, for the report of a serious, single vehicle collision.
The roadway collapsed underneath a transport truck as it travelled on Dundonald Road, resulting in the collision. Water levels were very high as significant storms with heavy rainfall, passed through the area.
