A commercial vehicle overturned on Highway 64 in French River on Monday evening while trying to avoid a head-on collision. The incident occurred around 7:20 p.m. when a passenger vehicle crossed the center line, forcing the commercial driver to swerve toward the shoulder. This maneuver caused the vehicle to roll over.
The driver of the passenger vehicle fled the scene, and no injuries were reported. Ontario Provincial Police closed the highway in both directions for over six hours to investigate.
Authorities are now searching for the suspect vehicle, believed to be a black Volkswagen Golf or Jetta hatchback with two occupants. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Nipissing West OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
