A Carrying Place resident is facing a careless driving charge after a multi-vehicle crash, say Belleville police.
According to the Belleville Police Service, police, alongside fire and paramedics, responded to Old Hwy. 2, east of Pointe Anne Road, in response to a report of a multi-vehicle collision shortly after 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 9, 2024.
Initial reports indicated an elderly woman was trapped in one of the vehicles and required extrication. Upon arrival, emergency crews got the woman safely out of the vehicle, reported police, on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
Police said they spoke to witnesses and involved parties and learned that the driver of a truck allegedly clipped another vehicle travelling eastbound, which caused it to fishtail out of control. The truck then proceeded to hit another vehicle travelling in the opposite direction, reported police.
One person was transported to hospital with minor injuries, said police.
As a result of the investigation, police said an 18-year-old from Carrying Place was charged with careless driving.
This charge has not been proven in court.
