ORIGINAL STORY – A two-vehicle collision has slowed traffic to a halt at an intersection in Trenton.
The crash happened around 10:15 Tuesday morning on Dundas Street East and Flindall Street, OPP stated and one of the vehicles was reportedly an OPP cruiser.
A call to Inquinte.ca reported one of the vehicles went into a light pole and hydro wires in the area of McDonald’s in Trenton are down.
Police and fire are on scene to investigate.
No serious injuries have been reported, but Hastings-Quinte paramedics were still called in as a precaution.
Drivers are advised that traffic will continue to be slow in the area and to find an alternate route.
Fire trucks have Dundas blocked at McDonald’s on the east side with traffic being diverted through the parking lot, and Flindall Street to the west.
No eastbound traffic is getting through past that point.
Further details may be coming on this collision later on Tuesday.
