The resulting crash blocked lanes for several hours

A major collision on Highway 11 in South River has led to a charge against a commercial driver.

Almaguin Highlands OPP say the incident happened Monday morning when a commercial truck jack‑knifed, blocking southbound lanes. A second truck then crashed into the first, forcing a seven‑hour closure while emergency crews cleared the scene.

Police have charged a 33‑year-old Orangeville man with careless driving. Authorities remind drivers to exercise caution, especially around large vehicles.
