RNC investigating dump truck collision near Corner Brook

The RNC is investigating following a dramatic vehicle collision in western Newfoundland on Sunday.

Just before 10 p.m., officers responded to a single-vehicle collision involving a dump truck approximately three kilometres west of Corner Brook on the Trans Canada Highway.

The dump truck, which was not carrying a load at the time, appears to have been travelling westbound when it crossed over into oncoming traffic, left the road and came to a stop in a ditch. There was extensive damage to the vehicle and the lone occupant, a 46-year-old male driver, was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation is ongoing.
