Last Wednesday, July 29, around 7:40 p.m., a serious two -vehicle crash took place at this intersec- tion - the same location of an acci- dent just one week earlier. In both instances, the collisions took place in broad daylight, and appears as though drivers have failed to stop at the stop sign on Line 36. At least three people - a 62 -year- old Huron East woman who was a passenger in the latest incident; and two teenagers who were also passengers in the crash one week earlier - are currently in serious condition. "The Perth County OPP can't stress enough that motorists need to be cognizant of their actions at the over 1,000 stop sign controlled intersections within Perth County," said OPP Const. Kees Wijnands in a press release. "Many intersections have `two-way stops,' which often control the crossing of roads with speed limits of 80 km/h. The higher the speed, the greater the possibility of serious injury or death when drivers fail to stop and yield at these locations. "At stop sign controlled intersections, you must come to a stop, look, and avoid distractions. Driving demands your full attention." Last Wednesday evening, police investigation revealed that a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe was travelling northbound on Perth Road 180 and approached the intersection at Line 36. A 2013 GMC Sierra pickup truck travelling westbound on Line 36 proceeded into the intersection and collided with the passenger side of the Tahoe. The impact caused both vehicles to enter and come to rest in a field on the northwest corner of the intersection. The 61 -year-old male driver of the Tahoe was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries while his 62 -year-old female pas- senger was transported by air ambulance to a London hospital with major injuries. Both Tahoe occupants were res- idents of the Municipality of Huron East. The 38 -year-old male driver of the Sierra, a Wellesley resident, was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. Traffic was diverted around the intersection until shortly after midnight allowing for OPP West- ern Region Technical Traffic Investigators to investigate the collision and for the vehicles and debris to be cleared from the scene. Investigation into this colli- sion remains ongoing. On July 22, a similar accident occurred at the intersection in question, where a Pontiac Vibe was t -boned by an oncoming live- stock truck while entering the intersection from Line 36. Although the driver of the truck was unharmed, two occupants of the Pontiac were air -lifted to a London hospital with major inju- ries. A third occupant, believed to be the driver, has since been released from hospital after suffer- ing minor injuries. if it's local, it's seaforthhuronexp. >'• Marking your milestones.
