3 hurt
in Hwy. 4
accident
Three men were sent to hospital,
one in serious condition as a result
of an accident north of Blyth
Thursday night.
Blyth fire department was called
to the scene of the accident on
highway 4 between concessions
three and four in East Wawanosh
township shortly before midnight
to find a 1979 Chevrolet pick-up
had gone off the road, struck a pole
and rolled on its side. The rescue
unit stayed with the injured
passengers. It was obvious that
one of the passengers, Peter
Braun, 32, of Wingham was in bad
shape not moving at all while
firemen were there, Chief Irvin
Bowes said.
Braun along with the driver,
Robert J. Zimmer, 19, of Wingham
and Peter Beyersbergen, 25, of
Wingham were taken to Wingham
and District Hospital. Zimmer and
Mr. Beyersbergen were released
after two days in hospital for
observation. Mr. Braun was trans
ferred to Victoria Hospital, London
where he was reported in serious
condition on Monday.
A spokesman for the OPP
detachment at Wingham said the
weather conditions were poor at
the time with snow and sleet on the
road.
Residents of the area experienc
ed a power outage at the time of the
accident as the pole struck by the
pick-up also held a power trans
former. Power turned off again
when the pick-up was removed
from the site. Police estimated the
damage to the truck at $2,000 but
there was $30,000 damage to the
pole and transformer.
It was part of a busy 24-hour
period for the Blyth Fire Depart
ment. On Friday afternoon shortly
after 4p.m. firemen answered a
call to Anderson Salvage, south
east of Londesboro where heat
from ahomemade woodburning
unit had set insulation and two
trusses on fire in the attic of a
building.
Fridaynight about 8p.m. athird
call came in when electrical wiring
on a diesel transport truck caught
fire near the Triple K Restaurant at
the east edge of Blyth on County
Rd. 25. Damage was minor but the
short had seized the brakes on
making it impossible to move the
vehicle.
