Shortly after 11:30 am on March 14th a two motor vehicle collision occurred on Division Street just north of Veronica Street in the southbound lanes. The collision resulted in a natural gas line being struck that caused a ruptured pipe. Union Gas, the Cobourg Fire Department and EMS attended the collision.
Wimpy’s Diner restaurant and the Ultramar gas station were temporarily evacuated as a precaution. Union Gas capped off the gas line and services were returned to normal. No persons involved in the collision were transported to the hospital.
As a result of the Police Investigation, one driver was charged with Change Lane Not in Safety contrary to the Highway Traffic Act, which carries a fine of $110.00.
