Much to the relief of Huron County Sheriff’s deputies, no one was harmed during last Thursday’s accident in Lincoln Township.
Officials say that the accident occurred at the corner of Filion Road and Sullivan Road shortly before 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 27, when a 60-year-old Port Austin man, driving north in his red 1986 GMC Dump Truck, came to a stop at the Filion-Sullivan intersection’s stop sign.
He failed to see the westbound Ford-150, pulling into its path and promptly colliding with the other vehicle. However, despite extensive damage to the F-150’s front and “functional damage” to the dump truck, neither driver was injured.
Both the F-150’s driver, a 48-year-old man from Port Hope, and the Port Austin man had been wearing their seatbelts when the crash occurred.
