Horse drawn
buggy overturns
near belmore
(HOWICK, ON) —This after-
noon, just after 1:00 p.m.
Huron County OPP, Huron
County EMS and How -
ick Fire Department
responded to a single vehi-
cle collision on McIntosh
Line southeast of Belmore.
Upon arrival at the crash scene
emergency personnel located
an overturned buggy and eight
ejected occupants. Five of the
occupants were treated at the
scene for minor injuries and
three were sent to hospital.
Two of those that were sent
to hospital have since been
released. The youngest pas-
senger, a three-year-old girl

the male driver to lose con-
trol of the buggy. The seating
compartment overturned and
the occupants were ejected.
The injured horse was
later euthanized.

nical Traffic Investigation
(TTCI) members attended the
scene to assist with the colli-
sion investigation. The road-
way was closed for approxi-
mately three hours how-
ever it has since re -opened.
House fire in Seaforth
Shaun Gregory

Last week in Seaforth, the
Huron East Fire Department
attended a house fire on
Church Street, between
James Street and Centre
Street.
It's believed the blaze
started from a dryer, which
was inside the bathroom. It
took two pumpers and
a rescue van to maintain the
situation. And from a recent
interview from Seaforth's Dis-
trict Chief, Tom Phillips, the
flames were put out "quickly."
"Thank god they all got out
safely and it's a good thing, it
wasn't any later, they could
have been asleep. If it was
any later, it could have been
more serious," stated Phillips
about the four occupants in
the house including two
adults and two teenagers that
were unharmed.
According to a recent
Twitter Tweet, Sara Logan
stated she's so grateful her
father and family got out in
time.
The official damages of
the house have not yet been
released, but Phillips said
the one room and smoke
throughout the house are
the main areas of concern.
Locals and firefighters stand outside of the house that caught fire April 21.
