On November 10, 2020 at 7:30 a.m., members from the Nipissing West (Sudbury) Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a single motor vehicle rollover collision on Highway 17, just east of the traffic lights and the intersection of Regional Road 55 (The Kingsway), City of Greater Sudbury, Ontario.<\/p>\n

Investigation revealed the tractor trailer was eastbound on the Highway 17 southeast by-pass and subsequently rolled-over after exiting onto the ramp to continue east on Highway 17.<\/p>\n

The tractor-trailer was hauling lumber which spilled onto Highway 17, blocking both lanes.\u00a0The driver and lone occupant was not injured.<\/p>\n

Further investigation revealed that speed was a contributing factor in the collision.\u00a0As a result, the 49 year-old driver, from East Farnham, Qu\u00e9bec, was charged with Careless Driving, contrary to section 130(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) was also on-scene to clean-up the diesel spill.<\/p>\n

Highway 17 was closed for approximately five hours while crews cleaned-up the debris and removed the commercial motor vehicle from the roadway.<\/p>\n
