Single-vehicle collision sends driver to hospital

CALEDONIA—Haldimand OPP is investigating a single-vehicle collision that sent a 21-year-old driver to hospital with non-life- threatening injuries.

The collision occurred on Highway 6 Bypass south of Argyle Street, Caledonia.

On Monday, March 1, 2021 at 7:03 p.m., OPP, Haldimand County Fire Services and Haldimand County paramedics responded to Highway 6 Bypass near Argyle Street after a witness reported a single vehicle had rolled over and the driver had been ejected and appeared to have sustained serious injuries.

Haldimand County paramedics transported the 21-year-old driver to an out-of-town hospital via ambulance with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

OPP investigation, thus far, has determined a green pickup truck being driven by the 21-year-old driver was travelling southbound on Highway 6 Bypass when it crossed the centre line and hit a steel guard rail.

The vehicle rolled several times landing on its roof and the driver was ejected.

Highway 6 was closed between Greens Road and Fourth Line for approximately five hours while emergency crews were on scene.
