There were no injuries to report following a pair of crashes in St. John’s on Monday evening, however there was significant damage.

At about 6:10 p.m. crews responded to a single-vehicle crash on Lemarchant Road near Shoppers Drug Mart. The driver of an eastbound vehicle lost control and struck a telephone pole, cracking it off at its base. The driver was assessed by paramedics at the scene, but was not taken to hospital.

Roughly twenty minutes later, at 6:30 p.m., crews were called to a two-car collision at the intersection of Torbay Road and MacDonald Drive. That crash caused extensive damage to both vehicles. The drivers of both SUV’s were assessed by paramedics, but suffered no reported injuries. Traffic was slowed in the area until the scene could be cleared.
