A serious collision occurred on Bruce Road 1 in Huron-Kinloss late Monday evening, involving a farm tractor and a pickup truck with a trailer. The incident took place shortly after 8:30 PM, prompting immediate response from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Bruce County Paramedic Services, and Huron-Kinloss Fire & Emergency Services.

According to the OPP, both vehicles were travelling northbound on Bruce Road 1 when the pickup truck struck the tractor from behind. The driver of the tractor, a 29-year-old man from Kincardine, sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to a trauma centre in London for urgent medical treatment.

The collision led to the closure of Bruce Road 1 between Bruce Road 6 and Grey Ox Avenue, affecting local traffic. Authorities worked diligently to clear the scene and conduct their investigation, which remains ongoing. As of now, no charges have been laid in connection with the incident.

The roadway has since been reopened, allowing normal traffic flow to resume. However, the OPP is urging anyone with information related to the collision to come forward. They can contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or, for those who prefer to remain anonymous, reach out to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

As investigations continue into this serious incident, local residents are reminded to exercise caution while driving, particularly in rural areas where farm vehicles may be present on the roads. The OPP is committed to ensuring the safety of all road users and will provide updates as further information becomes available.
