One person had to be airlifted to a Hamilton hospital with serious injuries after a transport truck hit a tree on Brantford Road.
VANESSA - The OPP is investigating a single vehicle crash involving a transport truck on Brantford Road in Vanessa.
In a video posted on the OPP West Region X page, Sergeant Ed Sanchuk said the call came in shortly before 5:00 a.m. today.
"Members of the Norfolk County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police along with fire and paramedic services responded to reports of a transport truck that had left the roadway and struck a tree. The driver of that transport truck was airlifted by Air Ornge to a local hospital in Hamilton to be treated for serious injuries."
The crash took out some hydro in the area, so Hydro One crews had to be called in. About 200 litres of diesel fuel also spilled on a local property, so the Ministry of Environment had to be notified as well.
Police have closed Brantford Road between Norfolk County Road 19 and Windham Road 3 for the investigation.
