DRYDEN — No one died but one person did sustain serious injuries following a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 17 on Sunday.
Police finally released those details on Tuesday.
According to the media release, no one else involved in the crash was injured and the sole victim was transported to a local hospital.
The collision involved three commercial motor vehicles, and OPP officers, alongside fire and paramedic services, responded to the collision shortly after 9 a.m.
The segment of Highway 17 has also since been reopened for traffic.
However, the North West Region traffic incident management and enforcement team alongside the collision re-constructionists are still assisting in the ongoing investigation.
While the OPP stated that traffic safety remains a top priority and a key component of its public safety mandate, investigations resulting in the loss of life and serious injuries can be complex to investigate.
The police added with the vast majority of collisions being preventable, thorough and accurate investigations help to ensure that motorists who cause these collisions are held accountable for their driving behaviours as victims and their families deserve no less.
