Airport Road through Avening is closed this morning to allow police to investigate a serious collision involving a pick-up truck and a tractor trailer.
The collision happened at about 7:30 a.m. just north of Avening. Clearview Township firefighters extricated the driver of the pick-up truck, who was airlifted to hospital in Toronto with life-threatening injuries.
Fire Chief Colin Shewell said via Twitter that the containers being hauled by the transport truck were empty but there was a fuel leak.
The road is closed between 3-4 Sideroad Nottawasaga and County Road 9, at Cashtown Corners. Police said OPP Technical Collision Investigators are investigating and the road would be closed for several hours.
No charges have been laid at this time.
