A transport truck driver who thought he’d avoid the backlog of traffic on the Emergency Detour Route on Sunday afternoon ended up causing a secondary collision.
Northumberland OPP responded around 4:30 p.m. to a single vehicle collision on Boes Road, just east of Brighton.
The transport left the EDR and struck a concrete CN Railway overpass.

He will appear in Cobourg court on May 8.
