STRATFORD POLICE SERVICE
************************
On Friday, Nov. 29, 2024 shortly before 7 a.m. the Stratford Police Service was contacted regarding a single motor vehicle collision on Perth Road 130 at Line 26, in the Township of Perth South.
A transport truck had been travelling west on Perth Road 130 approaching Line 26 when it slid from the roadway and struck a hydro pole and transformer.
Upon arrival of police and other emergency service vehicles, the driver of the truck was found to be stuck on top of the cab, which was lying on its side in the ditch along the roadway.
Due to the concerns with live hydro lines the roadway was closed to traffic and Hydro One was contacted.
The roadway will likely be closed until the early afternoon of Nov. 29.
With the first real snowfall of the season and snow expected to continue throughout the weekend, the Stratford Police Service would like to encourage all drivers to slow down and create extra space while travelling throughout this winter.
