Huron County OPP Rollover collision absolutely preventable Huron County Ontario Pro- vincial Police (OPP) officers would like to remind motor- ists to always drive according to weather and road conditions after several collisions were investigated by Huron OPP on January 3. Just after 2:00 p.m. Huron OPP officers and Huron County EMS responded to a report of a single vehicle rollover col- lision located on Dashwood Road at the west edge of Dashwood. Police arrived on scene to find an eastbound pickup truck had left the road- way, entered into the north ditch and rolled over land- ing on the driver's side. Police learned the driver of the vehi- cle was attempting to make a pass on the snow covered roadway when he lost control of his vehicle. All three occu- pants in the vehicle sustained minor injuries. A 19 -year-old male driver from Mississauga has been charged with making an unsafe lane change. Huron OPP officers also responded to a single motor vehicle collision in the Town of Goderich that took place around 7:30 p.m. The nov- ice driver was driving on Pic - ton Street East when he slid on the icy road and drove his pickup truck into a hydro pole guide wire. The pickup truck sustained light damages from the collision. Huron OPP is reminding motorists that when it comes to winter driving, the mes- sage is very simple, "If You See Snow, Go Slow". Road and weather conditions can change very quickly and at this time of the year, it is very important to remember that the simplest of safe driving strategies can make the dif- ference. Always adjust your driving to current weather and road conditions and always reduce your speed when the roads are not clear. Huron OPP would also like to remind motorists to be patient when they encounter working plows on the roadways. Safety tips for drivers encountering a snow plow Be patient and keep a safe distance behind working snow plows. Snow plows often travel slowly because they are removing snow, spreading salt or sand, and applying liquid anti -ice to roadways. Never pass a snow plow. Snow plows are wider than the aver- age vehicle with large blades that extend a metre or more ahead and into the neighbour- ing lane. Passing a snow plow could result in a collision. Don't drive beside snow plows. You risk collision as snow plows sometimes shift sideways when they are plow- ing packed snow or drifts. Move aside. Snow plows often drive along the centerline of a roadway to remove snow. If you are approaching a snow plow from the opposite direc- tion, be prepared to shift right and leave space so they can pass you safely. Beware of reduced visibil- ity. Even at reduced plowing speeds, a light powdery snow forms a cloud in the wake of a snow plow that severely restricts a driver's visibil- ity making passing extremely dangerous. Do not pass between snow plows in tandem. On multi -lane roads snow plows often work in tandem, forming an echelon or "conga line". Passing or weav- ing between these plows is dan- gerous. Please stay well back of echelon plows. Wednesday, January 13, 2016 • News Record 19 Brussels Transport Ltd. first Brussels area business to support Hospital Project with $50,000 donation Special to Clinton News Record Brussels Transport Ltd has pledged to donate $50,000 to the Wingham & District Hospital Foun- dation's "Our Hospital, Our Future" campaign over the next five years. Brussels Transport Ltd is the first business from the Brussels area to con- tribute to the campaign which supports the major redevelopment of the Wingham & District Hospital. Campaign Team Leader, Jenny Hogervorst, who was on hand on January 6 to receive the donation, said she is thankful for the support from Brus- sels Transport Ltd and "hopes their generosity might inspire other Brus- sels area businesses to become part of the pro- ject as well". Brussels Transport Ltd owners Jim and Lyn Jutzi and Neil Jutzi were par- ticularly interested in supporting the project because of the recent passing of their brother from cancer. As part of the Hospital redevelop- ment, the Oncology department, which is the only one in Huron County, will be expanded to better meet the grow- ing need for local chem- otherapy treatment. A big thank you goes out to Brussels Transport Ltd for their donation. Renovations continue at the Wingham & Dis- trict Hospital as part of the long term redevelop- ment plan. Recent activi- ties include new flooring and wall finishes in the emergency department, ongoing renovations in the former board room to create rehabilitation space closer to the main entrance and outdoor directional signage now in place.
