Sergeant Ed Sanchuk posted a video about on the OPP West Region X page at around 3:00 p.m. yesterday.
"Just shortly after 1:00 p.m. this afternoon, Middlesex County OPP officers responded a report of a transport truck that left the roadway and went approximately 40 yards into the ditch that you see over here."
