No serious injuries after dump truck collides with pickup truck
There were no serious injuries to report following a collision between a dump truck and a pickup truck early Friday evening in St. John’s.
At about 5:45 p.m. emergency crews were called to a portion of Thorburn Road, just east of the Outer Ring Road. A collision between a dump truck and a pickup truck had resulted in the smaller vehicle coming to rest partially in a ditch. Reports from the scene indicate the driver of the pickup may have been attempting to pass the dump truck, which was also towing a trailer, as the truck was turning left.
The driver of the pickup truck was assessed at the scene by paramedics. The driver of the dump truck was uninjured.
The collision caused a closure of the road in the immediate area for a short while.
