Charges have been laid after a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 11 in Severn Township.
It happened just after midnight yesterday in the northbound lanes at Goldstein Road, where police say one vehicle struck a hydro pole, and another struck the guardrail.
Hydro One was also dispatched to the scene to assess damages, and intermittent closures were required while road crews repaired damages to the guardrail.
Police say a 53-year-old driver from Ajax was subsequently charged with having an Insecure Load contrary to the Highway Traffic Act.
Orillia OPP reminds all members of the motoring public to take care and ensure all loads on or in their vehicles are safely secured.
