A pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by a transport truck early Tuesday morning west of Rockwood. The collision occurred around 5 a.m. at the intersection of Wellington Road 124 and Wellington Road 29.
According to police, the eastbound truck hit the adult pedestrian, who was initially taken by land ambulance before being airlifted by Ornge to a trauma centre outside the region.
The roadway was closed for several hours during the investigation but has since reopened. Authorities are appealing for dashcam footage from anyone who may have been in the area before the crash.
