On Nov. 9, at approximately 3:35 p.m., RCMP responded to a collision involving two semi-trucks south of Hamiota.

Local firefighters and paramedics also responded to the incident, which occurred when a semi travelling south on Road 140 West collided with a truck travelling east on Highway 24. The intersection is a two-way stop, with right of way given to eastbound and westbound traffic.

The driver of the eastbound semi, a 76-year-old male, suffered minor injuries in the collision and was taken to hospital for treatment. The other semi driver did not require medical treatment.

The 23-year-old male driver of the southbound semi was ticketed for driving carelessly and disobeying a stop sign, which carries a combined fine of $875.
