Accident mineur à Hawkesbury
Un accident mineur impliquant deux véhicules est survenu mercredi matin, aux environs de 9 h 30, au coin des rues Cameron et Aberdeen. Selon les personnes impliquées sur la scène, il s’agirait d’une malencontreuse erreur d’inattention. Les deux véhicules seraient repartis en même temps, suite à leur arrêt obligatoire. La conductrice du véhicule utilitaire sport rouge n’aurait pas vu la berline grise et c’est à ce moment qu’est survenue la collision. Heureusement, aucune des deux conductrices n’a été blessée lors de l’accident. Une agente de la police de l’Ontario (O.P.P.) est intervenue sur les lieux quelques minutes plus tard. Les véhicules ont par la suite été remorqués.
