One injured when foundation collapses in Avening

At 8:18 a.m. on Sept. 23, a portion of a foundation at a rural home under renovation on County Road 42 in Avening collapsed on one person. That person was extricated by Clearview Fire and Emergency Services and transported to hospital by County of Simcoe Paramedic Services with injuries.

Huronia West OPP was called to assist. Police said the Ministry of Labour was notified.

Collision at problem intersection

On Sept. 19, at approximately 8 p.m. a three-vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of 3/4 Sideroad Sunnidale and Concession Road 9. Injuries were sustained and occupants were transported to hospital.

Kirk Hartling was driving northbound on the 3/4 Sideroad when he came upon a collision. It was a poignant moment because he knew it was a collision at the same intersection that claimed the life of a New Lowell resident two years earlier.

“People are still running stop signs and people are getting seriously hurt,” said Hartling.

He said he also sees people regularly running the stop sign installed at County Road 9 and Centre Line Road.

The collision is still under investigation. As a result police would not provide any further information.
