Four Vehicles Involved in Crash

OPP say it could have been a lot worse.

As many as four vehicles were involved in that accident yesterday afternoon on Portage Avenue in Fort Frances.

Constable Anne McCoy says it started when the driver of a pick up truck suffered a medical distress a couple of blocks earlier.

McCoy says the truck first struck a sign near Third Street East before coming into collision with a vehicle stopped at the traffic lights at 2nd Street East.

The vehicle continue to drive on the sidewalk, avoiding three people who jumped out of the way before returning to the roadway, missing on oncoming vehicle before colliding with two parked vehicles in the area of the United Native Friendship Centre.


One vehicle was pushed onto the walkway in front of the Centre.

The driver of the truck, a 65-year-old man and a woman inside one of the parked vehicle were taken to hospital for treatment.
